The Kinks


Tom: F

    F                                        C
The leaves of brown came falling through the view
C
In Berkeley Mews, I first met you
  F                                    C
I staggered through your chilly dining room
C
In Berkeley Mews, I first met you
     Bb
Your kitchen sink was cluttered up
   Gm                       D7
So I couldn't shut it up forlornly
  Gm
I brewed another cuppa up
    G7                              C       Bb C F
And tried to sneak out early in the morning

[Verse 2]
F                                        C
I thought you had much better things to do
                 C7 C
In Berkeley Mews, I first met you
  F                              C
Drowned my conversation with champagne
                 C7   C
And Berkeley Mews was not the same
  Bb
I thought you were an intellect
    Gm                           D7
But now that I reflect, you left me reeling
    Gm
You made me drink a toast
             G7                            C       Bb C Bb
And when you finished I was looking at the ceiling

[Verse 3]
    F                             C           C7
The floods of tears I've wept thinking of you
                                    F
Remind me of that night in Berkeley Mews

[Outro]
N.C.              G7             C
You know that you left me broken-hearted
             F Bb7 Bb F
