Silvertown Blues chords by Mark Knopfler

Guitar chords with lyrics


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


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
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      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
Going down in Silvertown, down in Silvertown
    C   Dm   F   Bb F C        Dm
And I'm going down in Silvertown,  down in Silvertown
C   Bb      C          F
Going down in Silvertown, down in Silvertown



Solo: F C | Dm F | Bb F | C | Dm F | Bb | C | C |
