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 isnt there ,
E
its 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 .
