The strumming pattern is a little weird and changes so Iâd watch the video where he
does it if I were you. Itâs kind of vibrato up until the final chorus basically.

Fm/AAs 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]
So I sD5at down in my sFm/Aadness, bFmeneath Asus2your wBm7indow E7
And I played sadD5 songs on the mFminor keys of a broken Asus2 pianoBm7 E7
A sD5inner amongst saved men, on the banks of the muddy Thames
AFm/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]
So I sDsus2at down in my Fmsadness, beneath Asus2 your Bm7window E7
And I Dsus2played sad songs on the Fmminor keys of a bAsus2roken Bm7piano E7
Dsus2A sinner amongst saved men, on the banks of the muddy Thames
