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

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