 There's a fog upon L. A. 
Cdim                            C 
 And my friends have lost their way 
Cdim                     C(b5) 
 We'll be over soon they said 
Cdim                            C 
 Now they've lost themselves instead.

 Well it only goes to show 
Cdim                      C 
 And I told them where to go 
Cdim                     C(b5) 
 Ask a policeman on the street 
Cdim                      C 
 There's so many there to meet

 Now it's past my bed I know 
Cdim                    C 
 And I'd really like to go 
Cdim                       C(b5) 
 Soon will be the break of day 
Cdim                      C 
 Sitting here in Blue Jay Way
