KINKS - "Waterloo Sunset" Tablature

Official KINKS Tablature & Sheet Music »

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". It's one of the best
songs of the Kinks, together with Sunny Afternoon and Dead End Street.


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...
