MARK SEYMOUR - WESTGATE CHORDS

Capo: 2 Tuning: E A D G B E

ARTIST: Mark Seymour SONG: Westgate VERSION: Transcribed from a live acoustic performance in the Herald Sun Studio, August 14, 2007 VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDANOe1e3Ng NOTE: During the intro he gets the shuffle effect by lifting his fingers off the Em 022XXX, and playing open 000XXX (which has many names, but I call Em11 below). NOTE: If you play the studio version you should add in the following lyrics at the start of verse 3: When you go to work each day You think you are going to come back alive You kiss your wife and your kids goodbye When you know your going to play to survive CAPO: 2nd fret for original key (it's also what he uses) [Intro] Em Em11 Em Em11 Em Em11 Em Em11 [Verse 1]

^EmMy name is Eddie, I am a ^Gworn man now But ^DI know where I was that ^Emday ^EmHiding from the foreman at the ^Gbase of the tower When I ^Dsaw the mighty bridge give ^Emway ^EmBolts started snapping on the ^Gwestern span They ^Dsounded like machine gun ^Emfire ^EmYou should have heard when ^Gshe came down The ^Dwind blew me over the ^Emwire

[Chorus]

And the ^Gcold wind ^Dblows ^AmDown by the river where ^Cnobody goes ^GHell broke fr^Dee when the bridge came ^Cdown ^AmWhen the bridge came ^Emdown Na na ^Gna na na na na ^DNa na na na ^Cna

[Verse 2]

^EmWe took it to the ^Gengineers And ^Dmade ‘em look up from their ^Emplans Said ^Emsomething about rust and a ^Gdifference in camber And ^Dbuckles in the western ^Emspan ^EmWe went back on the ^Gjob that day Well they ^Dswore blue murder she would ^Emnever come down ^EmI got away with ^Gsix broken ribs I am the l^Duckiest man a^Emround

[Chorus]

And the ^Gcold wind ^Dblows ^AmDown by the river where ^Cnobody goes ^GHell broke fr^Dee when the bridge came ^Cdown ^AmWhen the bridge came ^Emdown Na na ^Gna na na na na ^DNa na na na ^Cna ^D ^Em Na na ^Gna na na na na ^DNa na na na ^Cna ^Em

[Verse 3]

^EmSometimes I lay a^Gwake at night And ^Dthink about the ones who ^Emdied The ^Emriggers and the chippies and the ^Gboilermakers The ^Dboys who had nowhere to ^Emhide ^EmI think about how ^Gproud we were And ^Dhow we got a bad job ^Emdone ^EmYou've got to trust who you are ^Gworking with When the ^Dsteel starts to buckle in the ^Emsun

[Chorus]

And the ^Gcold wind ^Dblows ^AmDown by the river where ^Cnobody goes ^GHell broke fr^Dee when the bridge came ^Cdown And the ^Gcold wind ^Dblows ^AmDown by the river where ^Cnobody goes ^GHell broke fr^Dee when the bridge came ^Cdown ^AmWhen the bridge came ^Emdown Na na ^Gna na na na na ^DNa na na na ^Cna ^D ^Em Na na ^Gna na na na na ^DNa na na na ^Cna ^D ^Em Na na ^Gna na na na na ^DNa na na na ^Cna ^D ^Em Na na ^Gna na na na na ^DNa na na na ^Cna ^D ^Em
