Chords

[Intro] Dm Dm Am Am Gm Gm F A7 (1x) [Verse 1]
   Dm
We walk every morning in the silence

         Am
Past the mills on Whetley Lane

          Gm
Where the lights went out for the very last time

         F               A7
And they never came on again

    Dm
The spokesmen all shred crocodile tears

       Am
In the glory of the news at ten

        Gm
But the proudest eyes are long since dry

            F                 A7
And they're never gonna cry again
[Chorus]
     Dm                     Am
I salute your courage and I toast to your health

      Gm
I wish you all the luck in the whole wide world

        F                      A7
May you never be broken like they say you will
[Verse 2]
Dm
Waking up sudden from a nightmare

         Am
You were walking in the line in pain

       Gm
With a shaven head to the slaughterhouse

        F                 A7
And you never came back again

        Dm
But she took me in her arms and she held me

      Am
Close tight for a minute or two

       Gm
And then we smiled and laughed, closed our eyes

F            A7
Slept again, thinking of you
[Chorus]
        Dm                         Am
And the way that it is, the way that it really is

         Gm
With the money talking and a scapegoat lover

         F                 A7
With the painted face of a scolding mother

    Dm                      Am
I salute your courage and I toast to your health

      Gm
I wish you all the luck in the whole wide world

        F                      A7
May you never be broken like they say you will be
[Instrumental] Ab Ab A E (2x) [Bridge]
     Ab               A                E
Now lost in time, cut off from history

     Ab                        A            B
This is not knowledge, this is information
[Instrumental] Dm Dm Am Am Gm Gm F A7 (2x) [Chorus]
                 Dm                      Am
Dear Friend, I salute your courage and I toast to your health

      Gm
I wish you all the luck in the whole wide world

        F                         A7
May you never be broken like they say you will

        Dm                              Am
But the way that it is, yeah the way that it really is

         Gm
With the money talking and a scapegoat lover

         F                 A7
With the painted face of a scolding mother
[Outro]
   Dm
We're walking here in silence every morning

         Am
Past the mills on Whetley Lane

          Gm
Where the lights went out for the very last time

         F                A7
And they never came on again

         Dm
And they never came on again (never came on)

         Am                                       Gm
And they never came on again (never came on) a - gain
