I went out one morning in the spring
To _ Blackfriars [G] Bridge to watch the [Am] tide come in
The [F] tide came in and covered [Am] up the ruins and the mud
[G] Beneath the sun it flowed like a vein [Am] of blood
To the north there lies [G] the temple and [Am] the tower
The _ treasuries [G] of centuries [Am] of power
I [F] looked along the river to [Am] the shores of Silvertown
[G] Pouring up castles, one at a [Am] time, tearing down
_ _ [F] Down to [Am] the river, [G] up to [Am] the sea
[F] People [Am] in the city [G] are making [Am] history
[G] Changing [Am] history _
