Streets of London

Thought I'd put up another ballad-type song. I love these, as you can tell. This one is called "The Streets of London" and is very popular in traditional circles. It's about the poor and dejected, less fortunate people who are all around you, but whom you might not notice. Ralph McTell wrote this song back in the sixties and since then it has been performed by numerous artists. I probably first heard this as a kid listening to some local bands from my hometown.

I play the song in E with a capo on the 4th fret. This is a good one to help you practice your finger picking. Anyway, without further adieu...
