Intro 1

Verse 1
D 
Someone's dead in
Blewett
Street
G 
Down the stairs we chipped some paint
A 
Declined sweet sherry, had some tea
G 
D 
And hovered silently
Someone's dead in
Caldecott
G 
They dug their grave
on a brand new plot
A 
G 
See the footbridge has been taken down
It only takes five minutes to
D 
drive through town
A 
D 
But the flowers look like moons
A 
The roads cut deep and direct
D 
A 
D 
The railways change their names
And don't connect
E 
A 
D 
I remember at
G 
D 
Aberfan, rows of little crosses up on the hill
A 
G 
I  wouldn't swim in the channel or now,
as people paralysed at
Oxwich
D 
Bay
A 
D 
A 
D 
To contain a spore of chemicals
A 
D 
Can't take the boy down there,
E 
D 
Dsus4 
D 
Dsus4 
what would his mother say?
D 
Someone's dead in
Clannan's place
G 
A jackpot handshake and a face
like a well -kept grave
A 
G 
There was some problem with her feet
D 
But we were soft -spoken,
G 
vulnerable and discreet
D 
A 
D 
When the lid is down,
A 
and you're underground
D 
A 
D 
We wait and watch,
E 
just hanging round
D 
Dream of horses in black feathers
G 
Breathing heavy at the
front of the motorcade
you
