Guitar chords with lyrics

Intro:  Dm | Bb | Dm  F | Bb  ---> twice


Dm               Bb                 Dm    F   Bb
 On Silvertown Way the cranes stand high
Dm           Bb                           Dm   F   Bb
 Quiet and gray against the still of the sky
Dm                        Bb                        Dm   F   Bb
 They won't quit and lay down though the action has died
Dm                           Bb                    Dm   F   Bb
 They watch the new game in town on the Blackwall side


Dm                    Bb             Dm    F   Bb
 From the poisonous drains a vision appears
Dm                 Bb                       Dm   F   Bb
 A new circle of cranes, a new reason to be here
Dm             Bb                     Dm   F   Bb
 A big silver dome rising up into the dawn
Dm                        Bb                            Dm    F     Bb    Dm
 Above the church and the homes where all the silver is gone, gone, gone

Gm                     Bb              C   Am
 If I'd a bucket of gold, what would I do
C                      Bb           F    Bb
 I'd leave the story untold Silvertown blues


          F             Bb   C              Dm
I'm going down in Silvertown, down in Silvertown
       Bb            C                    F    C
Going down in Silvertown, down in Silvertown


Dm           Bb                  Dm    F   Bb
 A silver dawn steals over the docks
Dm                  Bb                       Dm    F   Bb
 A truck with no wheels up on the cinderblocks
Dm              Bb                     Dm    F   Bb
 Men with no dreams around a fire in a drum
Dm              Bb                   Dm    F     Bb    Dm
 Scrap metal schemes rusted over and done, done, done


Gm                     Bb              C   Am
 If I'd a bucket of gold, silver would do
C                      Bb           F    Bb
 I'd leave the story untold Silvertown blues


              F             Bb   C              Dm
And I'm going down in Silvertown, down in Silvertown
F      Bb            C                    F    C
Going down in Silvertown, down in Silvertown


Dm           F             Bb                Dm    F   Bb
 When you're standing on thin and dangerous ice
Dm       F              Bb                 Dm    F   Bb
 You can knock and walk in for citizens' advice
Dm       F                       Bb                 Dm    F   Bb
 They'll tell you where you can turn, where you can go
Dm       F                 Bb                     Dm    F   Bb   Dm
 There's nothing they can tell me I don't already know


Gm                     Bb              C   Am
 If I'd a bucket of gold, silver would do
C                      Bb           F    Bb
 I'd leave the story untold Silvertown blues


              F             Bb   C              Dm
And I'm going down in Silvertown, down in Silvertown
F      Bb            C                    F    C
Going down in Silvertown, down in Silvertown


Dm       F              Bb                    Dm    F   Bb
From the Canning Town train I see a billboard high
Dm        F            Bb                      Dm    F   Bb
There's a big silver plane rising up into the sky
Dm        F             Bb                        Dm    F   Bb
And I can make out the words 'seven flights every day'
Dm   F             Bb                   Dm    F   Bb   Dm
Says six of those birds are bound for JFK


Gm                     Bb              C   Am
 If I'd a bucket of gold, silver would do
C                      Bb           F    Bb
 I'd leave the story untold Silvertown blues


              F             Bb   C              Dm
And I'm going down in Silvertown, down in Silvertown
F      Bb            C                    F
Going down in Silvertown, down in Silvertown
        C      Dm     F      Bb  F  C               Dm
And I'm going down in Silvertown,    down in Silvertown
C      Bb            C                    F
Going down in Silvertown, down in Silvertown
