{t: GF - Leaning on a Lamp Post (harder) }
{key: C }
{artist:George Formby}
{c:Verse 1}
[C] I'm leaning on a [G7] lamp,
maybe you [C6] think, [Gdim] I look a [G] tramp,
[G] Or you may [C] think I'm [C6] hanging [D7-alt] 'round
To [G7] steal a [C] car. [Cdim]
[Dm7] [G7]
But [C] no I'm not a [G7] crook,
And if you [C6] think, that's [Gdim] what I [G7] look,
[G7] I'll tell you [C] why I'm here,
and [Am] what my [D7] motives are. [G7][Dm7] [G7]
{c:Verse 2}
[C] I'm leaning on a lamp-post at the corner of the street,
[C] In case a [G7] certain little lady comes [C] by.
Oh [Dm7] me, [G7] oh [C] my,
[C6] I [G] hope the little [D7] lady comes by. [G]
[G7] I [C] don't know if she'll get away, She doesn't always get away,
[C] But [G7] anyhow I know that she'll [C] try.
Oh [Dm7] me, [G7] oh [C] my,
[C6] I [G] hope the little [D7] lady comes by, [G]
{c:Verse 3}
[G] There's G7] no other girl I would [Dm7] wait [G7] for,
[Gaug] But [C] this one I'd break any [E7] date [Am] for,
I [D7] won't have to ask what she's [C6] late [D7] for,
[D7-alt] She [G7] wouldn't have to leave me [Dm7] flat,
She's not a [G7] girl like that.
{c:Verse 4}
[G7] Oh, she's [C] absolutely wonderful, and marvellous and beautiful.
[C] And [G7] anyone can understand [C7] why,
[Caug] I'm [F] leaning on a lamp-post at the [D7] corner of the street
In case a [C] certain little [G7] lady passes [C] by.
{c: }
{c:Repeat Verses 2,3,4}
