[Intro]

A Am E A Am E

Ewalking on Esus4cobbled stonEes, little bits oAf skin and bone
C#mjumping on a traG#mm car for a rideF#m           Bsus4      B 
EI can reEsus4member then,E as I was justA a boy of ten
C#mhanging arG#mound the old quaysF#mide        Bsus4      B 
Anow all the caEpstans and theC#m cargo boats
and stevadores are gAone
to where all the Eold ships go
but memF#sus4ories juF#st like the seBsus4as livBe on E 

that was when Esus4coal was king,
Ethe river a lAiving thing
C#mand I was just aG#m boy, but it was miF#mne,
Bsus4the cBoaly tEyne  A    B 

for this was a Ebig Ariver, B 
I waC#mnt you all to kG#mnow that I was proF#mud      Bsus4      B 
this was a Ebig rAiverB, but C#mthat was long aG#mgo,
that's not F#mnow,    Bsus4  B       that's not noEw


Emy father was a wEsus4orking man,
Ehe earned our living wAith his hands
C#mhe had to cross the rG#miver every dayF#m        Bsus4      B 
Ehe picked up a uEsus4nion cardE out of the ANeptune yard
C#mmouths to fG#meed and bills to paF#my        Bsus4      B 
Athere came aE time for him toC#m sail across the sea   and faAr away
Afinally wEhen the war was won

F#sus4you bF#rought him hoBsus4me and hoBme he stayed  E 


Eand when his Esus4days were done, Eunder a Agolden sun
C#myou took him back to G#mwhere he longed to F#mbe,
Bsus4  BBack       to the Esea  A    B 

for this was a Ebig rAiver,B 
I C#mwant you all to kG#mnow that I was proF#mud      Bsus4      B 
this was a Ebig rAiverB, but tC#mhat was long agG#mo, 
that's not nF#mow,     Bsus4   B     that's not noEw


Powtórz Intro


Ethe Neptune was the Esus4last to go,
EI heard it on my rAadio
C#mand then they played the lG#matest number onF#me     Bsus4      B 
Ebut wadda they Esus4do all day?
Eand what are they sAupposed to say?
C#mwhat does Am fG#mather tell his son?F#m        Bsus4      B 
Aif you you beElieve that there's Am bC#mond between our future and our paAst
try to hold Eon to what we F#sus4had,  
we     F#build them sBsus4trong, we buBild to lasEt


E'cause this is a Esus4mighty town,E built upon a sAolid ground
C#mand everything they tG#mried so hard to kiF#mll,
Bsus4we    Bwill rebuiEld           A    B 


for this was a Ebig AriverB 
I C#mwant you all to kG#mnow I'm so very prF#moud      Bsus4       B 
this was a Ebig rAiverB, but C#mthat was long aG#mgo,
that's not F#mnow     Bsus4        B 
and this is a Ebig big rAiver,
and C#min my heart I knG#mow it will rise agaiAn
the rivBer will rise aEgain  Esus4         E
