Вступление
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
for the Em*, EmMaj7, D6sus4, Em6. The names I have chosen are my best guest for the full chord names that
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:
DDmaj7D7
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 e + a 2 e + a 3 e + a 4 e + a 1 e + a 2 e + a 3 e + a 4 e + a
In the spots in the chorus indicated with D*, he seems to be playing Dsus2 D transition from the intro:

[Verse 1]
DDmaj7
Oh London in the Spring
D7G
Makes me feel so lucky I'm alive
G/F#
I've got love to give
EmA7
I've got my whole life to live
DDmaj7
Walkin' through the park
D7G
Sunshine pours like honey through the trees
G/F#EmA7
I believe I'm comin' home
[Chorus 1]
Em* EmMaj7
Well some people tell me
D6sus4Em6
I've better things to do
D*
And more productive ways
CGC/GG
That I could spend my time
Em* EmMaj7
But I'm not sure I agree
D6sus4Em6
It often seems to me we
D* CGC/GG
Spend our lives talkin' foolish, runnin' blind
EmA7A7sus2A7
And we forget how to enjoy the simple things
EmA7Dsus2
Like walkin' through London in the Spring
[Instrumental]
DDmaj7D7D7sus4D7D7sus2G5GG5G/F#Em7A7
[Verse 2]
DDmaj7
Whoa, London in the Spring
D7
See St. Paul's Cathedral like
GG/F#
(A) man of high society
EmA7
Calmly sittin' quietly
DDmaj7
And you watch the river Thames
D7
Weaving like a needle through the town
GG/F#
All the way down to the sea
[Chorus 2]
Em* EmMaj7
Well some people tell me
D6sus4Em6
The best is far behind us
D* CGC/GG
It's hopeless to be hopeful, anymore
Em* EmMaj7
But I'm not sure I agree
D6sus4Em6
I am hoping love will find us
D* CGC/GG
And gently guide our vessel to the shore
EmA7
Where there'll be no need for beggers or kings
EmA7Dsus2
All equal to share London in the Spring
