DAGENHAM DAVE (STRANGLERS)
INTRO:  Chord diagramE MajorE     x2

VERSE:
Chord diagramA augmentedA
            Dave was from out of town             Manchester’s likely too
Chord diagramE MajorE
            Had read De Sade to Marx               More read than me or you
Chord diagramA augmentedA
            Scaffolding pays good bread           It pays for drugs and kicks
Chord diagramE MajorE
            Dave only had one love                   had no real need for chicks

Chord diagramF#F#
             Dave was so far ahead                     but now he’s dead
CHORUS:
Chord diagramE MajorE
I’m not going to cry        I bet he hit the water high
I’m not going to cry        I bet he hit the water high

VERSE:
I guess he lost control, and welcomed in the night
It was too much for him, what were his thoughts that night?
The river thames is cold, it keeps on flowing on
But it left Dave alone, it just kept flowing on.

Chord diagramF#F#
             There’s city sickness here                 but now he’s dead

CHORUS:
Chord diagramE MajorE
I’m not going to cry        I bet he hit the water high
I’m not going to cry        I bet he hit the water high

BREAK:
Chord diagramC#C#
Late night a street in the west of the city
There was a place there where he lost himself
Strange feelings did he feel there, strange people
Did he meet there, angry sounds did he hear there
Chord diagramA augmentedA
Like the howling of bulls…..

CHORUS:
Chord diagramE MajorE
I’m not going to cry        I bet he hit the water high
I’m not going to cry        I bet he hit the water high
