     Am              F 
My whistle under the archways 
      C                  F 
Still echoes down the street 
F                    Em 
All the way back to Deptford days 
 Am                  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                   Am   Am  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               Am  Am  Am 
He says I know who you are 

      Am              F 
He’s right, I know I could be him 
    C               F   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     C  G 
And down the road wherever 
  G/B                       C      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                Am  Am  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              Am 
Some people stay the same 

            G 
And I’ll be out of this place 
     G7               C     C  G 
And down the road wherever 
                            C      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             F 
A grinning mogul greets the crowd 
   C          F 
At Execution Dock 
     F                 Em 
All come to see three mutineers 
       Am                Am   Am  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              Am   Am  Am 
Sold online on premium sale 

   Am              F 
So if you need to reach me 
         C                 Fadd9 
You can leave word at The Pig 
   F                Em 
I have no wish to stay around 
    Am                 Am 
To watch that Newgate jig 
   Am                 F 
Or any more poor old fakers 
           C                Fadd9 
Trying to dance in my old shoes 
         F            Em 
I’ll be gone over the ocean 
           Am            Am 
With the transatlantic blues 

            G 
And I’ll be out of this place 
     G/B              C     C  G 
And down the road wherever 
  G/B                       C      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
