[Verse 1]

Fm/A
As I walked out one morning fair
I found myself drawn thoughtlessly
Back to the place we used to live
And you still do, now without me

Around the back, away from the road
Behind the bins, beneath your window
I found the hulk, a rusting bulk
Of a shattered old piano
Someone had torn out some of the keys
With cruel care, not thoughtlessly
In such a way that one could only play
Minor melodies

[Chorus]
      D5             Fm/A     Fm       A5     Bm7    E7
So I sat down in my sadness, beneath   your     window
                D5             Fm                      A5    Bm7    E7
And I played sad songs on the minor keys of a   broken     piano
   D5
A sinner amongst saved men, on the banks of the muddy Thames

[Verse 2]

Fm/A
As I have wandered through this city
Like a child lost in the London fog
From Highgate Hill, down to the river
Then washed downstream past the Isle of Dogs

Had time enough to think upon
The question of what kind of songs
That you would choose to listen to
Now that I am gone
And as I float beneath that bridge
Just down the road from where you live
I've often thought I might have caught
Your voice upon the wind

(stop)
But as I stroked those broken keys
You did not join in harmony

[Chorus]
(strumming pattern begins)

      D5             Fm/A     Fm       A5     Bm7    E7
So I sat down in my sadness, beneath   your     window
                D5             Fm                      A5    Bm7    E7
And I played sad songs on the minor keys of a   broken     piano
   D5
A sinner amongst saved men, on the banks of the muddy Thames
