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.
