| Am | F | C | Fadd9 |
| F | Em | Am
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
One song at a time

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
One song at a time
