**********************************************************************************************

--------------------------------
RIFF 1
VERSE 1
********
G             D
 I saw a blue umbrella in Princes Street Garden
G                 Bm
 Heading out west for the Lothian Road
G                   D
 An evening news stuffed deep in the pocket
            G      Bm
Little did I know that even a heavy load
G                D
 I found us walking Grierson`s dockyards
G                     Bm
 Where the only thing working was foreign film crews
G             D
 Making an impressive documentary
              Bm
For the big news ??? To the satellite

--------------------------------
RIFF 2
CHORUS
*******
Em       G        D
 And all we`re left with is the black black oil
Em        G        D
 With a sense of pride and identity
Em      G       D
 The waters left behind we should forget
   Em     G       D
Laid low in the books of history


--------------------------------
RIFF 1
VERSE 2
*********
G                 D
 I saw the starlings wheel round Georgian spires
G              Bm
 Gathering on patrol in the skies
G                  D
 In the distance burns the flame of Grange mouth
              G          Bm
And the dream is lost everything what it could inspire
G                  D
 From the take you know there is no distance
G                 Bm
 How we talk about in the secret affairs
G             D
 Taking our ride into the distance
                G
To be what it was or could have been
          Bm
What I should have said

--------------------------------
RIFF 2
CHORUS
*******
Em       G        D
 And all we`re left with is the black black oil
Em       G         D
 With a Strong sense of National pride
Em       G         D
 Till we take some more steps to unity, Take it back to me
    Em    G        D
Take it back In a city run out of luck

SYNTH - G D G Bm X2

RIFF 1
VERSE 3
********
G                D
 And all we`re left with is the black, black oil
G                 Bm
 With a strong sense of national pride
G           D
 Calling the ??? for identity
              G
What it meant to me, what I said
          Bm
What we could have had
G             D
 I saw a blue umbrella in Princes Street Gardens
G                 Bm
 Heading out west for the Lothian Road
G                   D
 An evening news stuffed deep in the pocket
            G          Bm
Little did I know that even caring a heavy load


--------------------------------
RIFF 2
CHORUS
*******
Em       G        D
 And now we`re left with is the black black oil
Em       G         D
 With a strong sense of national pride
Em     G          D
 Calling a name in the sake of unity
                 Em
What it means to me you`ll never know
G       D
 You`ll never know
Em       G         D
 I see myself forced in servant exile
Em    G          D
 Turning around at another`s command
Em   G       D
 All I want to see is identity
                Em
What I could have been, What I did
G      D
 Could have been
