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

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

I'd leave the story untold Silvertown blues
