Waterloo Sunset

(for bending the strings, don't go to far - just enough to slightly 
change the pitch - it's not a Jimi Hendrix solo!)

LYRICS: 
 
Dirty old river, must you keep rolling, rolling into the night * 
People so busy, make me feel dizzy, taxi light shines so bright * 
But I don't need no friends 
As long as I gaze on Waterloo Sunset, I am in paradise * 
Every day I look at the world from my window 
Chilly chilliest evening time, Waterloo sunset's fine 
 
 
Terry meets Julie, Waterloo Station, every Friday night * 
But I am so lazy, don't want to wander, I stay at home at night * 
But I don't feel afraid 
As long as I gaze on Waterloo Sunset, I am in paradise * 
Every day I look at the world from my window 
Chilly chilliest evening time,  Waterloo sunset's fine. 
 
Millions of people swarming like flies `round Waterloo underground * 
Terry and Julie cross over the river where they be safe and sound * 
And they don't need no friends 
As long as they gaze on Waterloo Sunset, they are in paradise * 
 
 
play main intro riff again 
 
At then end, I like to hit a few C5 chords (x355xx) while the "waterloo sunset's fine" bit gets repeated
