Bb F C
Dirty old river, must you keep rolling
Bb
Flowing into the night
F C
People so busy, makes me feel dizzy
Bb
Taxi light shines so bright
Gm Dm Bb C
But I don't need no friends
F C
As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset
Bb C-C-F-Em-C- Gm
I am in paradise
C C-C-F-Em-C- Gm
Every day I look at the world from my window
But chilly, chilly is the evening time
C Bb F C
Waterloo sunset's fi__ne
F C
Terry meets Julie, Waterloo Station
Bb
Every Friday night
F C
But I am so lazy, don't want to wander
Bb
I stay at home at night
Gm Dm Bb C
But I don't feel afraid
F C
As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset
Bb C-C-F-Em-C- Gm
I am in paradise
C C-C-F-Em-C- Gm
Every day I look at the world from my window
But chilly, chilly is the evening time
C Bb F C
Waterloo sunset's fi__ne
F C Bb
Millions of people swarming like flies 'round Waterloo underground
F C
But Terry and Julie cross over the river
Bb
Where they feel safe and sound
Gm Dm Bb C
And they don't need no friends
F C
As long as they gaze on Waterloo sunset
Bb
They are in paradise
