Seeing what she can borrow

Jim stops and gets out the car
 D                  Am7
Goes to a house in Emperor's gate
Am7                  G
Through the door and to his room
 D                  Am7

Says let's take a drive to Primrose Hill
      D                            Am7
It's windy there and the view's so nice
Am7               G
London ice can freeze your toes
 D              Am7
Like anyone I suppose
  F   Em           G
And hold on for tomorrow
