           E                    B
Dirty old river, must you keep rolling,
           A
flowing into the night
           E                 B
People so busy make me feel dizzy,
              A
taxi lights shine so bright

       F#m   F#maj7   F#m7 B
But I don't need no friends
              E                B
As long as I gaze on Waterloo Sunset,
         A      E F#
I am in paradise

Chorus:
             F#7                    B      E A E F#
Every day I look at the world from my window
                     F#7
Chilly-chilly is the evening time,
 B7
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

Chorus:
Every day I look at the world from my window
But chilly, chilly is the evening time
Waterloo sunset's fine (Waterloo sunset's fine)

Millions of people swarming like flies 'round
Waterloo underground
But Terry and Julie cross over the river
Where they feel safe and sound

And they don't need no friends
As long as they gaze on Waterloo sunset
They are in paradise

Waterloo sunset's fine
(Waterloo sunset's fine, Waterloo sunset's fine)

B
Waterloo sunset's fine
Waterloo sunset's fine
Waterloo sunset's fine
