Introdução: Verse 
 
G                       Am7 
I was a stranger in the city 
G7M       G7              Am7      D9 
Out of town were the people I knew 
G                          F#7 
I had that feeling of self-pity 
        Bm           Bm7         Bm5-/7 E7 
What to do?  What to do?  What to do 
     Am7            Cdim     G9 
The  outlook  was  decidedly  blue 
G6       Bm                 Am6    Am7      E9 
But as I walked through the foggy streets alone 
Fdim  Bm         Fdim     Am7      D7        G  Am7 G 
It turned out to be the luckiest day I've known 
Melody 
D7  G   Fm6 Am7          D9    Cdim 
A foggy day     in London town 
G   G7M  Gm7 Gm6 A7/13 A7  D9 
Had  me  low     had  me down 
G7M  Em6       G9     C7M    Cm6 
 I viewed the morning with alarm 
    G7M          E9          A6/9      D9 
The British museum had lost its charm 
D7   G      Fm6             Am7         D9 
How long, I wondered, could this thing last 
Cdim     G     Gm7       Gm6  A7/13   D9 
But the age of miracles hadn't passed 
    Dm7    G7    C9        A7/9- 
For suddenly I saw you there 
Em  Am5-/7    G     C6     G7M 
And through foggy London town 
    C6    Em7        A9 Am7  D7  G G7M D7 G7 C7 D7 
The  sun   was   shining  ev'rywhere
