     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               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

    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
