[Verse 1]
A
Had a notion across the ocean
A G
Round the corner down Denmark Street
A
Gettin' late an' still she was waitin'
A
Another round was gonna set me free, yeah
[Chorus]
G D A
Smile so sad, gotta leave you where you stand
G D E
Oh my, she sighed, nice try American Man
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
A
She showed her colors unlike the others
A G
Watchin' me from the balcony
A
She radiated, I hesitated
A
Was asking me if I would by the drinks
[Chorus]
G D A
I smiled so sad, gotta leave you where you stand
G D E
Too bad, she said, goodbye American man

[Verse 3]
A
We got so worried, I had to hurry
A G
Last song, time to move along
A
My cab was waiting, my back was aching
A
Take me home and I will do no wrong
[Bridge]
D
London town
D
The city really knocks me out
E
And it was all so cool
D
Stuck in the here and now
E
Tell me what's a young boy to do?
[Chorus]
G D A
I smiled so sad, gotta leave you where you stand
G D A
Oh my, she sighed, nice try American man
G D A
I smiled so sad, gotta leave you where you stand
G D E
Too bad she said, goodbye American man
[Instrumental]
