     F                                        C
The leaves of brown came falling through the view
C
In Berkeley Mews, I first met you
    F                                   C
I staggered through your chilly dining room
C
In Berkeley Mews, I first met you
      A#
Your kitchen sink was cluttered up
   Gm                       D7
So I couldn't shut it up forlornly
  Gm
I brewed another cuppa up
     G7                              C     A# C F
And tried to sneak out early in the morning

I thought you had much better things to do
In Berkeley Mews, I first met you
Drowned my conversation with champagne
And Berkeley Mews was not the same
I thought you were an intellect
But now that I reflect, you left me reeling
You made me drink a toast
And when you finished I was looking at the ceiling

      F                                    C
The floods of tears I've wept thinking of you
                                     F
Remind me of that night in Berkeley Mews

                   G7             C
You know that you left me broken-hearted
             F A#7 A# F
Berkeley Mews
