Song: Waterloo Sunset (by Ray Davies)
Artist: The Kinks
Tabbed by: Goedi_MC@gmx.de

This song I've originally transcripted from the Kink's
Greatest Hits Album "Death Of A Clown". Surely it's one of the best
songs of the Kinks.


Intro (The first notes are played with bass. The guitar plays just the 2nd fret on the A string (5th)):

1.            E                    B     
    Dirty old river, must you keep rollin
             A*     fill#1
    Flowin into the night
              E                  B              
    People so busy, make me feel dizzy
                A              fill#1
    taxi lights shine shine so bright

Pre-Chorus:
          F#m       C#
    But I don't      
            F#m7      B
    Need no friends
                 E / Riff            B
    As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset
              A / fill#1
    I am in paradise

Chorus:
    A C# F#                                    B
             Every day I look at the world from my window
    A C# F#                                     B7
             The chilly chilliest evening time, Waterloo sunset's fine

2.  Terry meets Judie at Waterloo Station
    Every Friday night
    But I am so lazy, don't want to wander
    I stay at home at night

Pre-Chorus:
    But I don't
    Feel afraid
    As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset
    I am in paradise

Chorus
    
3.  Millions Of people swarming like flies round
    Waterloo underground
    Terry and Judie cross over the river
    Where they feel safe and sound

Pre-Chorus:
    And they don't
    Need no friends
    As long as they gaze on Waterloo sunset
    They are in paradise

Riff

Waterloo sunset's fine...
