{t:Leaning On a Lamp-post}
{st:George Formby (Noel Gay, 1937)}

[/] [F] [/] [D7] [/] [Dm7] [G7] [/] [C] 

{c:Intro Verses}
I'm [/] [C] leaning on a [/] [G7] lamp,
maybe you [/] [C6] think, I [C#dim7↓] look a [/] [G7] tramp,
Or you may [/] [C] think I'm hanging [/] [D7] 'round to [Dm7] steal a [/] [G7] car [/] [G7]
But [/] [C] no I'm not a [/] [G7] crook,
And if you [/] [C6] think, [C#dim7] that's what I [/] [G7] look,
I'll tell you [/] [C] why I'm here, and [/] [D7] what my [Dm7] motives [/] [G7] are [/] [G7]


{c:(Repeat from here to extend song)}
I'm [/] [C] leaning on a lamp-post at the [/] corner of the street,
In case a [/] [G7] certain little lady comes [/] [C] by.
Oh [/] [G7] me, oh [/] [C] my, 
I [/] [G7] hope the little [D7] lady comes by. [/]  [G7]


I [/] [C] don't know if she'll get away, She [/] doesn't always get away,
But [/] [G7] anyhow I know that she'll [/] [C] try.
Oh [/] [G7] me, oh [/] [C] my, 
I [/] [G7] hope the little [D7] lady comes by, [/] [G7]


There's [/] [G7] no other girl I would [/] wait for,
But [/] [C] this one I'd break any [/] date for,
I [/] [D7] won't have to ask what she's [/] late for,
She [/] [Dm6] wouldn't have to leave me flat,
She's not a [/] [G7] girl like that.


Oh, she's [/] [C] absolutely wonderful, and [/] marvellous and beautiful.
And [/] [G7] anyone can understand [/] [C7] why,
I'm [/] [F] leaning on a lamp-post at the [/] corner of the street
In case a [/] [C] certain little [G7] lady passes [/] [C] by. [G7↓] [/] [C]
