(1) 1 Dirty old r[D]iver, must you keep r[A]olling, rolling in[G]to the night
2 People so [D]busy make me feel [A]dizzy, taxi lights s[G]hine so bright
3 But I d[Em]on't[B] need no [E7]friends[A]

6 The chilly-chilliest [E7]evening time, [A7]Waterloo sunset's fine
(2) Terry meets Julie, Waterloo Station, every Friday night
But I am so lazy, don't want to wander, I stay at home at night
But I don't feel afraid
As long as I gaze on Waterloo Sunset, I am in paradise
Every day I look at the world from my window
The chilly-chilliest evening time, Waterloo sunset's fine
(3) Millions of people swarming like flies round Waterloo underground
But Terry and Julie cross over the river where they feel safe and sound
And they don't need no friends
As long as they gaze on Waterloo Sunset they are in paradise
