London In The Spring

Passenger

Transposer:

Attempt to capture chords from the official version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zxb4NEgTCnk Capo 2 to play along with the official recording. He uses fingerpicking throughout the song. The chord descriptions listed below should closely match the strings he picks for those chords in context. In particular note that he seems to be only playing 3 strings would be played if strumming that section of the choruses. Note that the intro is repeated twice and although not exact it should be very close to what he plays. The picking in the verses generally seems to follow the pattern of this example: e|-------2---------------2---------|-------2---------------2---------| B|-------------3---------------2---|-------------1---------------1---| G|-----2---------------2-----------|-----2---------------2-----------| D|-0-------0-------0-------0-------|-0-------0-------0-------0-------| A|---------------------------------|---------------------------------| E|---------------------------------|---------------------------------| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + In the spots in the chorus indicated with D* he seems to be playing the Dsus2 D transition from the intro: Dsus2 D e|-------0h2------ B|-----------3---- D|-0-------------- |---------------- |---------------- 1 + 2 + [Chords] D xx0232 Dmaj7 xx0222 D7 xx0212 G 3x0003 G5 3x003x G/F# 2x000x Em 022000 A7 x02030 Am7 x02010 Em* xx200x EmMaj7 xx100x D6sus4 xx000x Em6 x4x00x A7sus2 x0200x [Intro] e|| -------0h2-------2---------------|-------2---------3-------2p0-----| B|| -----------3-----2---------2-----|-----------1-------------------3-| D||.-0---------------0-------0-------|-0-------0-------0-------0-------| || ---------------------------------|---------------------------------| || ---------------------------------|---------------------------------| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + e|-----------------------0---------|-----------------0--------------- || B|---------0h3-----3-------3-------|-3s5---5---5p0---2--------------- || G|---------------------------------|-----------------0---------------.|| D|-----0-------0-------0-------0---|-----0-------0-------2-------0---.|| A|---------------------------------|-----------------0-------0------- || E|-3-------3-------2-------2-------|-0-------0----------------------- || 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + [Intro] Dsus2 D7sus4 D7sus2 / Dsus2 D7sus4 D7sus2 / [Verse 1] Oh London in the Spring Makes me feel so lucky I’m alive I’ve got love to give I’ve got my whole life to live Walkin’ through the park Sunshine pours like honey through the trees I believe I’m comin’ home [Chorus 1] Well some people tell me D6sus4 Em6 I’ve better things to do And more productive ways That I could spend my time But I’m not sure I agree D6sus4 Em6 It often seems to me we Spend our lives talkin’ foolish runnin’ blind And we forget how to enjoy the simple things Em A7 Dsus2 Like walkin’ through London in the Spring [Instrumental] D7sus4 D7sus2 / [Verse 2] Whoa London in the Spring See St. Paul’s Cathedral like (A) man of high society Calmly sittin’ quietly And you watch the river Thames Weaving like a needle through the town All the way down to the sea [Chorus 2] Well some people tell me D6sus4 Em6 The best is far behind us It’s hopeless to be hopeful anymore But I’m not sure I agree D6sus4 Em6 I am hoping love will find us And gently guide our vessel to the shore Where there’ll be no need for beggers or kings Em A7 Dsus2 All equal to share London in the Spring [Outro] e|-------0h2-------2---------------|-------2---------3-------2p0-----| B|-----------3-----2---------2-----|-----------1-------------------3-| D|-0---------------0-------0-------|-0-------0-------0-------0-------| |---------------------------------|---------------------------------| |---------------------------------|---------------------------------| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + e|-----------------------0---------|-----------------2-0-2---|-0-----------0---|-0h2-| B|---------0h3-----3-------3-------|-3s5---5---5p0---------3-|---2-0-----3-----|-3---| G|---------------------------------|-------------------------|---------0-------|-2---| D|-----0-------0-------0-------0---|-----0-------0-----------|------s4---------|-0---| E|-3-------3-------2-------2-------|-0-------0---------------|-----------------|-----| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + ************************************ | h Hammer-on | p Pull-off | s Slide ************************************

La chanson évoque la beauté de Londres au printemps, un moment qui remplit le chanteur d'une profonde gratitude pour la vie. Il exprime son amour et son désir de profiter des petites choses, comme se promener dans un parc baigné de soleil. Face aux discours de ceux qui lui disent qu'il pourrait faire mieux ou être plus productif, il défend l'importance de savourer les moments simples et de se laisser porter par l'amour et l'espoir. Le contexte de cette réflexion se déroule au cœur d’une ville chargée d’histoire, où l’architecture emblématique et la nature s'entremêlent, créant une atmosphère propice à la contemplation et à la sérénité. Ce printemps à Londres devient ainsi une métaphore de la paix intérieure et de l'acceptation des choses qui nous entourent.
