A Foggy Day (In London Town)
Words & Music by Ira & George Gershwin
Recorded by Fred Astaire, 1937
From the movie "Damsel In Distress"
Intro Verse:
G Am7
I was a stranger in the city;
GM7 G7 Am7 D9
Out of town were the people I knew.
G F#7
I had that feeling of self-pity --
Bm Bm7 Bm7-5 E7
What to do? What to do? What to do?
Am7 Cdim G9
The outlook was de - cid - ed - ly blue;
G6 Bm Am6 Am7 E9
But as I walked through the foggy streets alone,
Fdim Bn 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 GM7 Gm7 Gm6 A7/6 A7 D9
Had me low had me down.
GM7 Em6 G9 CM7 Cm6
I viewed the morning with alarm;
GM7 E9 A6/9 D9
The British mu - se - um had lost its charm.
D7 G Fm6 Am7 d9
How long, I wondered, could this thing last?
Cdim G Gm7 Gm6 A7/6 D9
But the age of mir - a - cles hadn't passed,
Dm7 G7 C9 A9-5
For sud - den - ly I saw you there --
Em Am7-5 G C6 GM7
And through foggy London town
C6 Em7 A9 Am7 D7 G - GM7 - D7 - G7 C7 D7
The sun was shin - ing ev' - ry - where.
