...LEANIN' ON A LAMP-POST... by George Formby ----------------------------................. *Released 1937* *N.B...Ukulele CHORD DIAGRAMS follow the Guitar Tab* Intro:

I'm ^Cleaning on a ^G7lamp; maybe you ^C6think,^C#dim I look a ^Gtramp, Or you may ^Cthink I'm ^C6hanging '^D7round to ^G7steal a ^Ccar.^D#dim ^Dm7 ^G7

But ^Cno, I'm not a ^G7crook, and if you ^C6think,^C#dim that's what I ^G7look; I'll tell you ^Gwhy I'm here and ^Amwhat my ^D7motives ^G7are.^Dm7 ^G7

*(Tempo Change)* Verse 1:

I'm ^Cleaning on a lamp-post, at the corner of the street, In case a ^G7certain little lady comes ^Cby. Oh ^Dm7me, ^G7 oh ^Cmy,^Am7 I ^Ghope the little ^D7lady comes ^Gby.^G7

I ^Cdon't know if she'll get away, she doesn't always get away, But ^G7anyhow I know that she'll ^Ctry. Oh ^Dm7me, ^G7 oh ^Cmy,^Am7 I ^Ghope the little ^D7lady comes ^Gby.

Bridge 1:

There's ^G7no other girl I would ^Dm7wait ^G7for, ^Gaug But ^Cthis one I'd break any ^E7date ^Amfor. I ^D7won't have to ask what she's ^Am7late ^D7for; She ^G7wouldn't leave me ^Dm7flat; she's not a ^G7girl like that.

Chorus 1:

Oh, she's ^Cabsolutely wonderful and marvellous and beautiful, And ^G7anyone can understand ^C7why;^Caug I'm ^Fleaning on a lamp-post at the ^D7corner of the street, In case a ^Ccertain little ^G7lady passes ^Cby.

(Tempo Change) Verse 2:

I'm ^Cleaning on a lamp-post, at the corner of the street, In case a ^G7certain little lady comes ^Cby. Oh ^Dm7me, ^G7 oh ^Cmy,^Am7 I ^Ghope the little ^D7lady comes ^Gby.^G7

I ^Cdon't know if she'll get away, she doesn't always get away, But ^G7anyhow I know that she'll ^Ctry. Oh ^Dm7me, ^G7 oh ^Cmy,^Am7 I ^Ghope the little ^D7lady goes; G7 (n.C) Wah dah, dah dah dah, dah dee, boom boom.
