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

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
