          E              B            E
Well, I tried to settle down Fulham Broadway
                        A                E
And I tried to make my home in Golders Green
                                A             F#m
But I gotta get that train and go back home again
           E                   B
Oh, how I miss the folks back home in
            E
Willesden Green

You know, I tried, I really tried to
settle in this big city
And I always thought I could make it
all on my very own
But there's one thing that keeps calling me
To that little, that little semi-detached
That's the folks, yeah,
the folks back home in Willesden Green
