Berkeley Mews, I first met you
 
Chorus:
Bb
Your kitchen sink was cluttered up
Gm D7
So I couldn't shut it up for longing
Gm
I brewed another cuppa up
G C Bb C Bb
And tried to sneak out early in the morning
 
I thought you had much better things to do
Berkeley Mews, I first met you
Drowned my conversation with champagne
Berkeley Mews, was not listening
 
Chorus #2:
I thought you were an intellect
But now that I reflect, you left me reeling
You made me drink a toast
And when you finished I was looking at the ceiling
 
F C
The flood of tears I've wept thinking of you
C C7 F
Reminds me of that night in Berkeley Mews
 
G C7
You know that you left me broken hearted
