--------------------------------
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

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
