[Verse 1]
    D5                                    D5/C           D5
At night they would go walking till the breaking of the day
D5                           D5/C    D5
The morning is for sleeping
             D5                                   D5/C             D5
Through the dark streets they go searching to see God in their own way
 D5                                  D5/C    D5
Save the nighttime for your weeping
       D5
Your weeping
 
 
[Chorus]
        F        C          Dm
Singing la la la la la la lay
        F          Am         Dm
And the night over London lay
 
 
[Verse 2]
      Dm               F               Am            Dm
So we rode down to the river where Victorian ghosts pray
          Dm           F       Am
For their curses to be broken
         Dm                  F                Am                 Dm
We go wandering 'neath the arches where the witches are and they say
          Dm                    F      Am
"There are ghost towns in the ocean"
     Dm
The ocean
 
 
[Chorus]
        F        C          Dm
Singing la la la la la la lay
        F          Am         Dm
And the night over London lay
 
 
[Solo]
Dm  F  Am  Dm
Dm  F  Am
Dm  F  Am  Dm
Dm  F  Am
Dm
 
 
[Verse 3]
Dm              F          Am           Dm
God is in the houses, and God is in my head
            Dm            F        Am
And all the cemeteries in London
      Dm              F             Am                 Dm
I see God come in my garden, but I don't know what He said
       Dm              F     Am
For my heart it wasn't open
    Dm
Not open
 
 
[Chorus]
        F        C          Dm
Singing la la la la la la lay
        F          Am        Dm
And the night over London lay
        F        C          Dm
Singing la la la la la la lay
           F          Am         Dm
There's no light over London today

yeah, D5 sounds off to me as well. Anyway, since I mostly play it acoustically I just use the verse chords for that intro part
