[D] [Dm]
[D] On Silver Town Way, the cranes stand high
Quiet and grey, against the still of the sky
[Bb] They
[Dm] won't quit and lay down, though the action has died
[D] They watch the new game in town, on the black wall side
From their poisonous [Dm] dreams, a vision appears
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
If I [Gm] had a bucket of gold, what would [C] I do?
[Am]
[C] I'd leave the story [Bb] untold, Silver [Dm] Town
[Bb] Going [F] down, in Silver [Bb] Town
[C] Down in Silver [Dm] Town
[Bb] Going down, in Silver [C] Town
Down in Silver [F] Town
[C]
[Dm] A silver dawn, steals over the doors
[Bb]
[Dm] A truck with [Bb] no wheels, up on Cinder [Dm] Block
[Gm] [Dm]
Men with no dreams, around the fire in a drum
[Bb]
[Dm] Scar-wrapped meadow schemes, rusty over and done
[Gm] If [Dm]
[Gm] I had a bucket [Bb] of gold, what would I [C] do?
[Am]
[C] I'd leave the story [Bb] untold, Silver [Dm] Town
[Bb] Going
[F] down, in Silver [Bb] Town
[C] Down in Silver [Dm] Town
Going [Bb] down, in Silver [C] Town
Down in Silver [F] [C] Town
[Dm] Standing [Bb] on the dangerous [Dm] side
[Bb] You [Dm]
cannot [Bb] come walking, for [Dm] citizens are [F] blind
[Bb] The [Dm]
[Bb] way you can turn, the way [Dm] you can run
[Bb] There's
[Dm] nothing [Bb] they can tell me, I don't know [Dm] already
[F] [Bb] If [Dm]
[Gm] I had a bucket of gold, [Bb] silver [C] would do
[E] [Am]
[C] I'd leave the story [Bb] untold, Silver [Dm] Town
[Bb] And I'm going [F] down, in Silver [Bb] Town
[C] Down in Silver [Dm] Town
I'm going [Bb] down, in Silver [C] Town
Down in Silver [F] Town
[C]
[Dm] On the Camden Town [Bb] train, I saw a [Dm] billboard out
There's [Bb]
[Dm] a big city plane, marching up into the sky
I can make [Bb] out the words, that say the [Dm] flight's every [F] day
[Bb] Say
[Dm] the six [Bb] of the birds, that fly off the G [Dm].A [F].T.
[Bb] If [Gm] I had a bucket of gold, silver [C] would do
[Bb] [Am] I'd
[C] leave the story [Bb] untold, Silver [Dm] Town
[F] [Bb] And I'm going [F] down, in Silver [Bb] Town
[C] Down in [Dm] Silver Town
I'm [Bb] going down, in [C] Silver Town
Down in Silver [F] Town
[C]
[Dm] Going down, in Silver [Bb] Town
[Dm]
[C] Down in Silver [Dm] Town
Going [Bb] down, in Silver [C] Town
Down in Silver [F] Town
[C]
[D] [F] [Bb]
[C] [Dm]
[Bb] [C]
Now it's [F] silver time.
[C] [F]
