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

I stay at home at night

Waterloo sunset's fi__ne

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

As long as they gaze on Waterloo sunset
Bb
They are in paradise
