Anthony John Clarke - Tomorrow the sorrow begins

Kids hold balloons coloured^E red, white and blue Their mothers cheer with them as ^Amthey always do ^FIn my heart I'm weeping, but ^CI'm cheering ^Amtoo To^Emorrow the sorrow be^Amgins ^E

Kids' eyes are popping as ^Amthey take in her size ^E Champagne bottle ex^Amplodes on her side ^FShe slips in the water, then a^Cway with the ^Amtide To^Emorrow the sorrow be^Amgins

^GWaving as the last ship ^Csails from the Tyne ^G I helped to build her, so,^C part of her's ^Emine ^F Sailing away with my ^Chopes ^G/Band my ^Amdreams To^Emorrow the sorrow be^Amgins ^{E Am}

Our Yard, it once employed^E thousands of men We prayed for the good times to ^Amcome back again ^F It never happened, our ^Cprayers were in ^Amvain To^Emorrow the sorrow be^Amgins

^EGuillotines and flanges now stand^Am silent and still ^EThere's such an emptiness no ^Amsound will ever fill ^FAs the rain it drizzles down, my ^Clast hopes to ^Amkill To^Emorrow the sorrow be^Amgins (guitar)

I got my letter, I was^E just numb inside I knew it would happen, but it ^Amstill hurt my pride ^FWhen I showed it to my wife, I ^Cthought that she would ^Amcry To^Emorrow the sorrow be^Amgins

^EShe showed me the paper, there's ^Amwork to be had ^EDown at the Call Centre and the ^Ampay's not too bad ^FI said that I'd go down there, I ^Csaw that she was ^Amglad To^Emorrow the sorrow be^Amgins

^GWaving as the last ship ^Csails from the Tyne ^G I helped to build her, so,^C part of her's ^Emine ^F Sailing away with my ^Chopes ^G/Band my d^Amreams To^Emorrow the sorrow be^Amgins To^Emorrow the sorrow be^Amgins To^Emorrow the sorrow be^Amgins
