At night they would go walking till the break in the day

The morning is for sleeping
C#5 C#5/B C#5
Through the dark streets they go searching to see God in their own way

Save the nighttime for you weeping

Your weeping

Singing la la la la la la lay

And the night over London hey
[Verse 2]
C#m E G#m C#m
So we rode down to the river where the toiling ghosts spring
C#m E G#m
For their curses to be broken
C#m E G#m C#m
We'll go underneath the arches where the witches are in the sea
C#m E G#m
There are ghost towns in the ocean
C#m
The ocean
[Chorus]
E B C#m
Singing la la la la la la lay
E G#m C#m
And the night over London hey
[Solo]

[Verse 3]
C#m E G#m C#m
God in the houses, and god is in my head
C#m E G#m
And all the cemeteries in London
C#m E G#m C#m
I see god come in my garden, but I don't know what he'd say
C#m E G#m
For my heart it wasn't open
C#m
Not open
[Chorus]
E B C#m
Singing la la la la la la lay
E G#m C#m
And the night over London hey
E B C#m
Singing la la la la la la lay
E G#m C#m
There's no light over London today
