[Intro]

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                Dm     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 F 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
Dm/C   Bb            C                  | F F 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               Dm    Bb
 I'd leave the story untold Silvertown blues
 
 
               F             Bb  C              Dm
And I'm going down in Silvertown, down in Silvertown
Dm/C   Bb            C                 | F F 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               Dm    Bb
 I'd leave the story untold Silvertown blues
 
 
               F             Bb  C               Dm
And I'm going down in Silvertown, down in Silvertown
Dm/C       Bb            C                    F
I'm going down in Silvertown, down in Silvertown
         C/E   Dm     Dm/C   Bb  Bb/A  C            Dm
And I'm going down in Silvertown,    down in Silvertown
Dm/C   Bb            C                   F
Going down in Silvertown, down in Silvertown
