Silence Of The City by Mcfly McFly (Danny Jones) Silence of the City Am G D/f# E Verse: Am G It was Tuesday afternoon, I got home from work quite soon, D/f# I turned on the tv and, E What did I see? Am I saw World War Three, G Staring back at me, D/f# E I thought I might wake up to reality, Am There wasnt gonna be, G Yeah, D/f# And all I could see was, E This horrific tragedy. [chorus] Am In the Silence Of The City, G F No mobile phones ring, Am In the Silence Of The City, G F You cannot hear a thing, Am In the Silence Of The City, G F The smiles are washed away, Am In the Silence Of The City, G F Theres nothing left to say. Verse: Am And New York, New York, G So good they named you twice, D/f# The city that never sleeps, E Do you believe your eyes? Am And by this act of war, G D/f# E Big apple is eaten to the core, Am And two tall towers, G Crumble to the floor, D/f# And Manhattan isn’t there, E It’s there no more! [chorus] Am In the Silence Of The City, G F No mobile phones ring, Am In the Silence Of The City, G F You cannot hear a thing, Am In the Silence Of The City, G F The smiles are washed away, Am In the Silence Of The City, G F Theres nothing left to say. Am And hardened New York cops, G With tears in their eyes, D/f# Tired & worn out fire-fighters, E Hoping to hear cries, Am And emergency & medics, G Overcome by exhaustion, D/f# And all rescue workers, E Filled with deep emotion. Am In the Silence Of The City, G F No mobile phones ring, Am In the Silence Of The City, G F You cannot hear a thing, Am In the Silence Of The City, G F The smiles are washed away, Am In the Silence Of The City, G F Theres nothing left to say. Am The eleventh of September, G Two thousand & one, D/f# The world trade centre, E And the U.S. Pentagon, Am These pictures that we see, G Almost defies belief, D/f# On the streets of New York City, E People are hit by sheer grief. Am In the Silence Of The City, G F No mobile phones ring, Am In the Silence Of The City, G F You cannot hear a thing, Am In the Silence Of The City, G F The smiles are washed away, Am In the Silence Of The City, G F Theres nothing left to say. G The New York City skyline, F We all admired before, G The tall twin towers, Fmaj7 Simply are there no more. Am G F In the Silence Of The City, Am G F In the Silence Of The City, Am G F In the Silence Of The City, Am G F In the Silence Of The City, Am G F In the Silence Of The City, Am G F In the Silence Of The City, Am G F In the Silence Of The City, Am In the Silence. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I saw no one has yet posted this song.Quite a good song I might add especially when you consider how young Danny was (14/15 if i'm not mistaken).So,I know this song has a lot of those open chords which make it sound so great but I just didn't have the time to figure them out.These,however,I think work quite well with the song. www.TAB6.com
