Introdução:
Am F
My whistle under the archways
C F
Still echoes down the street
F Em
All the way back to Deptford days
Am
Nights down by The Creek
Am F
Notes as big as river boats
C F
Still echoing through the clubs
F
With the horns of the trains
Em
Down the old back lanes
Am
And the lights of the corner pubs
Am F
In a taproom lined with mirrors
C F
There?s a man there at the bar
F Em
Reminds you of somebody
Am
He says I know who you are
Am F
He?s right, I know I could be him
C F
But anyway who is who?
You could be looking at
Em Am
What he?s looking at
Am
And he?s looking at you
G
And I?ll be out of this place
G7 C G
And down the road wherever
G/B C
There but for the grace, etcetera
F C F
I?ll see you later but it?s 1979
C Bb
And I?m picking my way out of here
Am
One song at a time
Am F
The slaving ports of plunder
C F
Used to stink to heaven on high
F Em
Companions of honour
Am
Always were in short supply
Am F
The Bristol ships and Liverpool?s
C F
On every tide they came
F Em
The times they may have changed, my friend
Am
Some people stay the same
G
And I?ll be out of this place
G7 C G
And down the road wherever
C
There but for the grace, etcetera
F C F
I?ll see you later but it?s 1879
C Bb
And I?m picking my way out of here
Am
One song at a time
Am F
A grinning mogul greets the crowd
C F
At Execution Dock
F Em
All come to see three mutineers
Am
Turned off at twelve o?clock
Am F
The shyster takes a ringside seat
C F
As they?re bringing them from the jail
Em
And twenty thousand tickets
Am
Sold online on premium sale
Am F
So if you need to reach me
C F9
You can leave word at The Pig
F Em
I have no wish to stay around
Am
To watch that Newgate jig
Am F
Or any more poor old fakers
C F9
Trying to dance in my old shoes
F Em
I?ll be gone over the ocean
Am
With the transatlantic blues
G
And I?ll be out of this place
G/B C G
And down the road wherever
G/B C
There but for the grace, etcetera
F C F
I?ll see you later somewhere down the line
C Bb
I?ll be picking my way out of here
Am
One song at a time
