London In The Spring chords by Passenger

• Capo on 2nd

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

NOTE:
He uses fingerpicking throughout the song. The chord descriptions listed below should closely match the
strings he picks for those chords in context. In particular, note that he seems to be only playing 3 strings
for the Em*, EmMaj7, D6sus4, Em6. The names I have chosen are my best guess for the full chord names that
would be played if strumming that section of the choruses.

Note that the intro is repeated twice and, although not exact, it should be very close to what he plays.

The picking in the verses generally seems to follow the pattern of this example:
  D        Dmaj7       D7
e|-------2---------------2---------|-------2---------------2---------|
B|-------------3---------------2---|-------------1---------------1---|
G|-----2---------------2-----------|-----2---------------2-----------|
D|-0-------0-------0-------0-------|-0-------0-------0-------0-------|
A|---------------------------------|---------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------|---------------------------------|
  1 e + a 2 e + a 3 e + a 4 e + a  1 e + a 2 e + a 3 e + a 4 e + a

In the spots in the chorus indicated with D*, he seems to be playing the Dsus2 D transition from the intro:
  Dsus2  D
e|-------0h2------
B|-----------3----
G|-----2-------2--
D|-0--------------
A|----------------
E|----------------
  1 e + a 2 e +

Verse 1:
  D       Dmaj7
Oh London in the Spring
D7              G
Makes me feel so lucky I'm alive
     G/F#
I've got love to give
Em        A7
I've got my whole life to live
D          Dmaj7
Walkin' through the park
D7                   G
Sunshine pours like honey through the trees
   G/F#      Em A7
I believe I'm comin' home

Chorus 1:
   Em*     EmMaj7
Well some people tell me
   D6sus4     Em6
I've better things to do
      D*
And more productive ways
   C         G C/G G
That I could spend my time
    Em*      EmMaj7
But I'm not sure I agree
  D6sus4     Em6
It often seems to me we
      D*      C         G C/G G
Spend our lives talkin' foolish, runnin' blind
      Em              A7 A7sus2 A7
And we forget how to enjoy the simple things
   Em       A7       Dsus2
Like walkin' through London in the Spring

Instrumental:
   D Dmaj7 D7 D7sus4 D7 D7sus2
G5 G G5 G/F# Em7 A7

Verse 2:
   D       Dmaj7
Whoa, London in the Spring
D7
See St. Paul's Cathedral like
  G       G/F#
(A) man of high society
Em        A7
Calmly sittin' quietly
     D        Dmaj7
And you watch the river Thames
D7
Weaving like a needle through the town
G         G/F#
 All the way down to the sea


Chorus 2:
   Em*     EmMaj7
Well some people tell me
   D6sus4    Em6
The best is far behind us
   D*       C      G C/G G
It's hopeless to be hopeful, anymore
    Em*     EmMaj7
But I'm not sure I agree
   D6sus4      Em6
I am hoping love will find us
   D*        C       G C/G G
And gently guide our vessel to the shore
      Em              A7
Where there'll be no need for beggers or kings
  Em       A7       Dsus2
All equal to share London in the Spring
