5 15 Am by Mark Knopfler
5 15 Am
capo: 1
D
5.15 a.m.
Snow laying all around
G
A collier cycles home
D
From his night shift underground
A
Past the silent pub
Primary school, workingmens club
Em
On the road from the pithead
G
The churchyard packed
D
With mining dead
D
Then beneath the bridge
He comes to a giant car
G
A shroud of snow upon the roof
D
A Mark Ten Jaguar
A
He thought the man was fast asleep
Silent, still and deep
Em
Both dead and cold
G
Shot through
D
With bullet holes
Gmaj7
The one armed bandit man
Came north to fill his boots
D
Came up from cockneyland
E-type Jags and flashy suits
Gmaj7
Put your money in
Pull the levers
Watch them spin
D
Cash cows in all the pubs
But he preferred the new nightclubs
A
Nineteen sixty-seven
Bandit men in birdcage heaven
Bm
La dolce vita, sixty-nine
G D A
All new to people of the Tyne
D
Who knows who did what
Somebody made a call
G
They said his hands
Were in the pot
D
That he'd been skimming hauls
A
He picks up the swag
They gaily gave away
Em
Drives his giant Jag
G D
Off to his big pay day
Gmaj7
The bandit man
Came north to fill his boots
D
Came up from cockneyland
E-type Jags and flashy suits
Gmaj7
The bandit man
Came up the great north road
D
Up to geordieland
To mine A
The mother lode
D
Seams blew up or cracked
Black diamonds came hard won
G
Generations toiled and hacked
D
For a pittance and black lung
A
Crushed by tub or stone
Together
And alone
Em
How the young and old
G D
Paid the price of coal
A
Eighteen sixty-seven
My angel's gone to heaven
Bm
He'll be happy there
G D A
Sunlight and sweet clean air
D
They gather round the glass
Tough hewers and crutters
Bm
Child trappers and putters
G A
The little foals and half-marrows
Em
Who pushed
A
And pulled the barrows
Em
The hod boys
G
And the rolleywaymen
D

version 3
This song is played on two guitars a lovely mix of a Strat and Les Paul.
One has a Capo on 1 and the other on 3. I think that to play it on one guitar it sounds better on 3
