McFly (Danny Jones) Silence of the City Am G D/F# E Verse:

It was T^Amuesday afternoon, ^G I got home from work quite soon, I tu^D/F#rned on the tv and, What ^Edid I see? I saw Wo^Amrld War Three, ^GStaring back at me, I th^D/F#ought I might wake up to re^Eality, There wasnt gon^Amna be, ^GYeah, And all I c^D/F#ould see was, This hor^Erific tragedy.

[chorus]

In the Silence ^AmOf The City, No mob^Gile phones ri^Fng, In the Silence ^AmOf The City, You can^Gnot hear a th^Fing, In the Silence ^AmOf The City, The s^Gmiles are was^Fhed away, In the Silence ^AmOf The City, Theres no^Gthing left to s^Fay.

Verse:

And New ^AmYork, New York, So go^God they named you twice, The c^D/F#ity that never sleeps, Do you be^Elieve your eyes? And ^Amby this act of war, Big ^Gapple is eaten to the ^D/F#core, ^E And t^Amwo tall towers, Cru^Gmble to the floor, And Man^D/F#hattan isn’t there, It’s ^Ethere no more!

[chorus]

And harde^Amned New York cops, With t^Gears in their eyes, Tired^D/F# & worn out fire-fighters, Hoping to h^Eear cries, And emerg^Amency & medics, Overcome by ex^Ghaustion, And all r^D/F#escue workers, Filled with d^Eeep emotion.

The elev^Amenth of September, ^GTwo thousand & one, The^D/F# world trade centre, And the U^E.S. Pentagon, These pic^Amtures that we see, ^GAlmost defies belief, On the st^D/F#reets of New York City, People are hit^E by sheer grief.

The New Y^Gork City skyline, We al^Fl admired before, The t^Gall twin towers, S^Fmaj7imply are there no more.

In the Si^Amlence Of The C^Gity, ^F In the Si^Amlence Of The C^Gity, ^F In the Si^Amlence Of The C^Gity, ^F In the Si^Amlence Of The C^Gity, ^F In the Si^Amlence Of The C^Gity, ^F In the Si^Amlence Of The C^Gity, ^F In the Si^Amlence Of The C^Gity, ^F In the Si^Amlence.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
