STREETS OF LONDON
(Trad., Arr. Ralph McTell)
The hardest thing about this tune is not the music - which is basically simple
4/4 with alternating bass for each chord - but the timing while singing the
choruses and the last verse. I've tried to indicate phrasing by commas and
line spacing, and I repeat chords when they cover two measures. Maybe it's
not *that* difficult, after all. :-) If you're really stuck, find someone
from "back home" to sing it for you.
A truly beautiful, three-hanky tune.
