[Intro]
Gx4
[Verse 1]
GOh the bridge is quiet and the water’s still
Cadd9 G DAs you turn your face from the bitter chill
Em7 DWatching ghosts of ships you saw
GSet sail down the Broomielaw
Long hours and the work was hard
Cadd9 G DFor a teenage welder in the Fairfield yard
Em7 DHolding on to dreams you planned
Walking home from the Barrowland
[Pre-Chorus]
Cadd9 GOh you can see it now
D Em7As sure as I can see the river
Cadd9 G DUntil the cold wind blows it all away
[Chorus]
Cadd9 GWalking by the quayside
D Em7That’s when I heard you say
Cadd9 G DThose old abandoned shipyards never leave me
Cadd9 GWalking by the quayside
G D/F# Em7Where you threw it all away
Cadd9 D GThose old abandoned dreams of yesterday
[Verse 2]
GWell Singers down in Clydebank sang
Cadd9 G DWhile the hammers chimed and the clocktower rang
Em7 DBlue jeans and she had it all
Underneath that glitter ball
[Pre-Chorus]
Cadd9 GOh you can see it now
D Em7As sure as I can see the river
Cadd9 G DUntil the cold wind blows it all away
[Chorus]
Cadd9 GWalking by the quayside
D Em7That’s when I heard you say
Cadd9 G DThose old abandoned shipyards never leave me
Cadd9 GWalking by the quayside
G D/F# Em7Where you threw it all away
Cadd9 D GThose old abandoned dreams of yesterday
[Verse 3]
GShe was waiting for you on the cobbled street
Cadd9 G DWhere the pavements shine and the lovers meet
Em7Near a bar where you met before
DCeud mìle fàilte on the door
GYou spoke of all you hoped to find
Cadd9 G DIf you ever left these streets behind
Em7 DSailing out across the world
Just you and your bonnie girl
[Pre-Chorus]
Cadd9 GOh you can see it now
D Em7As sure as I can see the river
Cadd9 G DUntil the cold wind blows it all away
Cadd9 GAnd you can see it still
D Em7Because the hope endures forever
Cadd9 G DUntil the cold wind blows it all away
[Chorus]
Cadd9 GWalking by the quayside
D Em7That’s when I heard you say
Cadd9 G DThose old abandoned shipyards never leave me
Cadd9 GWalking by the quayside
G D/F# Em7Where you threw it all away
Cadd9 DThose old abandoned dreams of yester...
Cadd9 GWalking by the quayside
D Em7That’s when I heard you say
Cadd9 G DThose old abandoned shipyards never leave me
Cadd9 GWalking by the quayside
G D/F# Em7Where you threw it all away
Cadd9 D GThose old abandoned dreams of yesterday
