           Do               Mim    Lam   Mim
There were blue skies in my city today
Fa              Mim           Rem                 Fa
Ev'ry thing was sinking, said snow would come on Sunday
    Sol            Lam         Sol     Fa
The old school was due and the traffic grew
   Fam
Up on the Westway

Do            Mim                      Lam             Mim
Where I stood watching comets on their lonesome trails
Fa          Mim         Rem         Fa
Shining up above me the jet fuel it fell
Sol     Lam             Sol                Fa
Down to Earth where the money always comes first
        Fam
And the sirens sing

Do  Mim  Lam  Mim
Fa  Mim  Rem  Fa
Sol Lam  Sol  Fa
Fam

Do                    Mim            Lam       Mim
Bring us the day they switch off the machines
Fa                 Mim                Rem     Fa
'Cos men in yellow jackets, putting adverts inside my dreams
   Sol       Lam          Sol         Fa
An automated song and the whole world gone
       Fam
Fallen under the spell of the
Do          Mim             Lam         Mim
distance between us when we communicate
Fa               Mim        Rem               Fa
Still picking up shortwave, somewhere they're out in space
     Sol              Lam            Sol        Fa
It depends how you're wired when the night's on fire
Fam
Under the Westway

Do  Fa6  Lam  Sol
Fa  Mim  Rem  Lam  Rem  Fam

       Do             Mim         Lam   Mim
Now it's magic arrows hitting the bull
Fa    Mim       Rem         Fa
Doing 180 still standing at last call
         Sol           Lam           Sol       Fa
When the flag's coming down, and the Last Post sounds
     Fam
Just like a love song

Do      Mim        Lam        Mim
For the way I feel about you
Fa       Mim            Rem    Fa
Paradise not lost, it's in you
     Sol       Mim     Sol  Fa
On a permanent basis I apologise
    Fam
But I am going to sing

Do  Mim       Lam    Mim
         Hallelujah
Fa          Mim              Rem     Fa
Sing it out loud and sing it to you
     Sol         Lam         Sol       Fa
Am I lost out at sea, 'til a tide wash me
   Fam               Do
Up off the Westway.
