Verse
G#5 G#5/F# G#5
At night they would go walking till the break in the day
G#5 G#5/F# G#5
The morning is for sleeping
G#5 G#5/F# G#5
Through the dark streets they go searching to see God in their own way
G#5 G#5/F# G#5
Save the nighttime for you weeping
G#5
Your weeping
[Chorus]
B F# G#m
Singing la la la la la la lay
B D#m G#m
And the night over London hey
[Verse 2]
G#m B D#m G#m
So we rode down to the river where the toiling ghosts spring
G#m B D#m
For their curses to be broken
G#m B D#m G#m
We'll go underneath the arches where the witches are in the sea
G#m B D#m
There are ghost towns in the ocean
G#m
The ocean
[Chorus]
B F# G#m
Singing la la la la la la lay
B D#m G#m
And the night over London hey
[Solo]

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