...LEANIN' ON A LAMPOST... by George Formby
--------------------------.................
*Released 1937*
*N.B...Ukulele CHORD DIAGRAMS follow the Guitar Tab*
Intro:
C G7 C6 C#dim
I'm leaning on a lamp; maybe you think,
G
I look a tramp,
C C6 D7 G7 C
Or you may think I'm hanging 'round to steal a car.
Ebdim Dm7 G7
C G7 C6 C#dim
But no, I'm not a crook, and if you think,
G7
That's what I look;
G Am D7 G7 Dm7 G7
I'll tell you why I'm here and what my motives are.
*(Tempo Change)*
Verse 1:
C
I'm leaning on a lamp-post,
At the corner of the street,
G7 C
In case a certain little lady comes by.
Dm7 G7
Oh me,
C Am7
Oh my,
G D7 G G7
I hope the little lady comes by.
C
I don't know if she'll get away,
She doesn't always get away,
G7 C
But anyhow I know that she'll try.
Dm7 G7
Oh me,
C Am7
Oh my,
G D7 G
I hope the little lady comes by.
Bridge 1:
G7 Dm7 G7
There's no other girl I would wait for,
G+ C E7 Am
But this one I'd break any date for.
D7 Am7 D7
I won't have to ask what she's late for;
G7 Dm7 G7
She wouldn't leave me flat; she's not a girl like that.
Chorus 1:
C
Oh, she's absolutely wonderful,
And marvellous and beautiful,
G7 C7 C+
And anyone can understand why;
F D7
I'm leaning on a lamp-post at the corner of the street,
C G7 C
In case a certain little lady passes by.

I hope the little lady goes;

Do do do dah, dah dee dee dee...

I don't know if she'll get away,

Oh my,

I hope the little lady comes by.
