Silence Of The City chords by McFly

McFly (Danny Jones)
Silence of the City


Am G D/f# E

Verse:
    Am        G
It was Tuesday afternoon,

I got home from work quite soon,
  D/f#
I turned on the tv and,
   E
What did I see?
    Am
I saw World War Three,
G

Staring back at me,
  D/f#            E
I thought I might wake up to reality,
        Am
There wasnt gonna be,
G
Yeah,
      D/f#
And all I could see was,
    E
This horrific tragedy.

[chorus]

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

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



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


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



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



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

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


     G
The New York City skyline,
   F
We all admired before,
   G
The tall twin towers,
 Fmaj7
Simply are there no more.

     Am      G  F
In the Silence Of The City,
     Am      G  F
In the Silence Of The City,
     Am      G  F
In the Silence Of The City,
     Am      G  F
In the Silence Of The City,
     Am      G  F
In the Silence Of The City,
     Am      G  F
In the Silence Of The City,
     Am      G  F
In the Silence Of The City,
     Am
In the Silence.

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.
