LEANING ON THE LAMP POST
Herman's Hermits

C                G
I'm leaning on the lamp
F                 C
Maybe you think I look a tramp
C            G          F              C
Or maybe you think I'm round to steal a car
C               G
But no, I'm not a crook
F                        C
And if you think that's what I look
C              G      F               C
I'll tell you why and what my motives are

C                                    G
I'm leaning on the lamp post at the corner of the street
            F              G        C
In case a certain little lady comes by
G        C
Oh me, oh my
         G             F          C
In case a certain little lady comes by

C
Oh, she's wonderful, she's marvelous
G
She's fabulous, she's beautiful
     F         G           C
And anyone can understand why
C                   F                G            C
I'm leaning on the lamp post at the corner of the street
         G             F          C
In case a certain little lady comes by

C
She doesn`t always get away
G
She cannot always get away
   F              G        C 
But anyway I know that she`ll try
G       C
Oh me, oh my
     G          F            C
I hope that little lady comes by

C              F                G
She`s not the kind of girl to be late for
C              G                F
But this one I`d break any date for
C              G                F
I won`t have to ask what she`s late for
G
She`d never leave me flat
G
She`s not a girl like that

C
Oh, she's wonderful, she's marvelous
G
She's fabulous, she's beautiful
     F         G           C
And anyone can understand why
C                   F                G            C
I'm leaning on the lamp post at the corner of the street
         G             F          C
In case a certain little lady comes by

C                                    G
I'm leaning on the lamp post at the corner of the street
            F              G        C
In case a certain little lady comes by
G        C
Oh me, oh my
         G             F          C
In case a certain little lady comes by

C
Oh, she's wonderful, she's marvelous
G
She's fabulous, she's beautiful
     F         G           C
And anyone can understand why
C                   F                G            C
I'm leaning on the lamp post at the corner of the street
         G             F          C
In case a certain little lady comes by


I think most of it is correct. The 5th stanza was slightly problematic. I hope I've got
the chord progression right. Any comments are welcome at tagsaurabh@rediffmail.com .
