London Homesick Blues
Written by Gary P. Nunn
Performed by Jerry Jeff Walker
G
Well when you’re down on your luck you ain’t got a buck
D
in London you’re a goner now even London bridge is falling down
G C
you move to Arizona and I know what
C
and I’ll substantiate the rumor that the English sense of humor is
G
drier than the Texas sand
Em Cm
you can put up your dukes you can bet your boots
D
but I’m leavin’ just as fast as I can now
Chorus:
D C Em Am
I wanna go home with the armadilla’
C D G
good country music from Amarilla and Abilene
C D G
the friendliest people and the prettiest women you’ve ever seen
Verse 2:
G D
Well it’s cold over here and I swear I wish they’d turn the heat on
D G C
and where in the world is that English girl I promised I would meet on the 3rd floor
C G
and of the whole damn lot the only friend I got is a smoke and a cheap guitar
Em Cm D
My heart keeps roamin’ my heart keeps longing to be home in a Texas bar
Chorus
Verse 3
G D
Well I decided that I’d get my cowboy hat and go down to the marble arch station
D
cause when a Texan fancies he’ll take his chances
G C
chances will be takin’ that’s for sure
C G
and them limey eyes they were eyein’ the prize some people call manly foot wear
Em Cm
and they said you’re from down south and when you open your mouth
D
you always seem to put your foot there
Chorus
(Repeated several times)
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official WALKER JERRY JEFF tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
