Stevens, Fowley - Portobello Road
Transcribed by Michael F Sullivan

*A lot of this is played arpeggio but it really wouldn't be very
useful to transcribe it all here.  Just fool around with the
chords on your own.

Part .

                          

Getting hung up all day on smiles

	                       

Walking down Portobello Road for miles

	   		 

Greeting strangers in Indian boots

		

Yellow ties and old brown suits

		   

Growing old is my only dan - ger

Part .

                        

Cuckoo clocks and plastic socks

	                 

Lampshades of old antique leather

                               

Nothing looks weird, not even a beard

		   

Or the boots made out of feathers

       

I keep walking miles

                      

'til I feel a broom beneath my feet

       

Or the hawking eyes

                        

Of an old stuffed bull across the street

	                         

Nothing's the same if you see it again

	               

It'll be broken down to litter

                          

Oh and the clothes everyone knows

                     

That that dress will never fit her

Part .

                          

     (whistling...)

	                       

     (...whistling...)

        	

     (...more whistling)

              

     (all strummed downward quickly)

Repeat parts A and B and then part A again with the last line:

                                

Growing old is my only dan - ger
