McFly (Danny Jones)
Silence of the City


A minorAm G+G D/f# E MajorE

Verse:
    A minorAm        G+G
It was Tuesday afternoon,

I got home from work quite soon,
  D/f#
I turned on the tv and,
   E MajorE
What did I see?
    A minorAm
I saw World War Three,
G+G
Staring back at me,
  D/f#            E MajorE
I thought I might wake up to reality,
        A minorAm
There wasnt gonna be,
G+G
Yeah,
      D/f#
And all I could see was,
    E MajorE
This horrific tragedy.

[chorus]

        A minorAm
In the Silence Of The City,
   G+G      FF
No mobile phones ring,
        A minorAm
In the Silence Of The City,
    G+G      FF
You cannot hear a thing,
        A minorAm
In the Silence Of The City,
   G+G      FF
The smiles are washed away,
        A minorAm
In the Silence Of The City,
     G+G       FF
Theres nothing left to say.

Verse:
    A minorAm
And New York, New York,
   G+G
So good they named you twice,
   D/f#
The city that never sleeps,
     E MajorE
Do you believe your eyes?
  A minorAm
And by this act of war,
  G+G           D/f#  E MajorE
Big apple is eaten to the core,
   A minorAm
And two tall towers,
  G+G
Crumble to the floor,
    D/f#
And Manhattan isn't there,
    E MajorE
It's there no more!

[chorus]
        A minorAm
In the Silence Of The City,
   G+G      FF
No mobile phones ring,
        A minorAm
In the Silence Of The City,
    G+G      FF
You cannot hear a thing,
        A minorAm
In the Silence Of The City,
   G+G      FF
The smiles are washed away,
        A minorAm
In the Silence Of The City,
     G+G       FF
Theres nothing left to say.


     A minorAm
And hardened New York cops,
   G+G
With tears in their eyes,
   D/f#
Tired & worn out fire-fighters,
      E MajorE
Hoping to hear cries,
     A minorAm
And emergency & medics,
       G+G
Overcome by exhaustion,
     D/f#
And all rescue workers,
       E MajorE
Filled with deep emotion.


        A minorAm
In the Silence Of The City,
   G+G      FF
No mobile phones ring,
        A minorAm
In the Silence Of The City,
    G+G      FF
You cannot hear a thing,
        A minorAm
In the Silence Of The City,
   G+G      FF
The smiles are washed away,
        A minorAm
In the Silence Of The City,
     G+G       FF
Theres nothing left to say.


    A minorAm
The eleventh of September,
G+G
Two thousand & one,
  D/f#
The world trade centre,
     E MajorE
And the U.S. Pentagon,
     A minorAm
These pictures that we see,
G+G
Almost defies belief,
     D/f#
On the streets of New York City,
       E MajorE
People are hit by sheer grief.

        A minorAm
In the Silence Of The City,
   G+G      FF
No mobile phones ring,
        A minorAm
In the Silence Of The City,
    G+G      FF
You cannot hear a thing,
        A minorAm
In the Silence Of The City,
   G+G      FF
The smiles are washed away,
        A minorAm
In the Silence Of The City,
     G+G       FF
Theres nothing left to say.


     G+G
The New York City skyline,
   FF
We all admired before,
   G+G
The tall twin towers,
 Fmaj7Fmaj7
Simply are there no more.

     A minorAm      G+G  FF
In the Silence Of The City,
     A minorAm      G+G  FF
In the Silence Of The City,
     A minorAm      G+G  FF
In the Silence Of The City,
     A minorAm      G+G  FF
In the Silence Of The City,

I saw no one has yet posted this song.Quite a good song I might add
especially when you consider how young Danny was (14/15 if i'm not
mistaken).So,I know this song has a lot of those open chords which make it
sound so great but I just didn't have the time to figure them
out.These,however,I think work quite well with the song.
