When The Thames Froze

SMITH & BURROWS – WHEN THE THAMES FROZE

C       Em      Dm      C  X 4 (last time: final C becomes the first C of the stanza)

C           G  Am     G C
God damn this snow
            F              G
Will I ever get where I wanna go
           C       G         Am               G C
And so I skate across the Thames
          F                 G
Hand in hand with all my friends

C       Em     Dm     C  X 2 

C                    G       Am       G C
And all the things that we planned
            F                          G
My son’s eyes in the outline of his hand
           C       G         Am               G C
And even though I hate the cold
              F                        G
A constant reminder that I’m growing old

C                            F             C     F
Another year draws to its close, entire London slows
         Am                   G          F
When I dream tonight, I’ll dream of you

            Dm        G/C
When the Thames, .. Froze

C       Em     Dm     C  X 2

C          G   Am             G C
God damn this government
            F                       G
Will they ever tell me where the money went
            C     G           Am      G C
Protesters march out on the street
               F                  G
As young men sleep amongst the feet

C                            F             C     F
Another year draws to its close, entire London slows
         Am                   G          F
When I dream tonight, I’ll dream of you

            Dm        G/C
When the Thames, .. Froze

C                            F           Dm
Tell everyone that there’s hope in your heart
C                          F        Dm   
Tell everyone or it will tear you apart
             G         C                F               Dm
The end of Christmas day, when there is nothing left to say
      C                                    F             Dm
The years go by so fast, let’s hope the next beats the last
