Hello all Knopfler fans,another one of Mark Knopfler's light track,
I didn't tab the fills and licks,but they are easy to
figure out,or just play around in F major Key.

Am : x02210 Bb: x13331 Dm: xx0231

On Silvertown way the cranes stand high
Quiet and gray against the still of the sky
They won't quit and lay down though the action has died
They watch the new game in town on the Blackwall side
From the poisonous drains a vision appears
A new circle of cranes, a new reason to be here
A big silver dome rising up into the dawn
Above the church and the homes where all the silver is gone
[Gm]If I'd a bucket of [Dm]gold, what would I [C]do
[Am]I'd leave the story [Bb]untold Silvertown [Dm]blues
[F]Going down in Silver[Bb]town
[Gm]Down in Silvertow[F]n
Going [Bb]down in Silver[C]town
[Gm]Down in Silver[F]town

A silver dawn steals over the docks
A truck with no wheels up on the cinderblocks
Men with no dreams around a fire in a drum
Scrap metal schemes rusted over and done
If I'd a bucket of gold, silver would do
I'd leave the story untold Silvertown blues
And I'm going down in Silvertown
Down in Silvertown
Going down in Silvertown
Down in Silvertown
[Dm]When you're standing on [Bb]thin and dangerous [Dm]ice[C][Bb]
[Dm]You can knock and walk [Bb]in for citizens' [Dm]advice[C][Bb]
[Dm]They'll tell you where you can [Bb]turn, where you can [Dm]go[C][Bb]
[Dm]There's nothing they can [Bb]tell me I don't already[Dm] know[C][Bb]
If I'd a bucket of gold, silver would do
I'd leave the story untold Silvertown blues
And I'm going down in Silvertown
Down in Silvertown
Going down in Silvertown
Down in Silvertown
From the Canning Town train I see a billboard high
There's a big silver plane rising up into the sky
And I can make out the words 'seven flights every day'
Says six of those birds are bound for JFK
If I'd a bucket of gold, silver would do
I'd leave the story untold Silvertown blues
And I'm going down in Silvertown
Down in Silvertown
Going down in Silvertown
Down in Silvertown
that's about it,sorry about the solo,my electric is broken,
I'll try to post it later on.
