RIFF 1
VERSE 1
********
G D
I saw a blue umbrella in Princes Street Garden
G Bm
Heading out west for the Lothian Road
G D
An evening news stuffed deep in the pocket
G Bm
Little did I know that even a heavy load
G D
I found us walking Grierson's dockyards
G Bm
Where the only thing working was foreign film crews
G D
Making an impressive documentary
Bm
For the big news ??? To the satellite
--------------------------------
RIFF 2
CHORUS
*******
Em G D
And all we're left with is the black black oil
Em G D
With a sense of pride and identity
Em G D
The waters left behind we should forget
Em G D
Laid low in the books of history
--------------------------------
RIFF 1
VERSE 2
*********
G D
I saw the starlings wheel round Georgian spires
G Bm
Gathering on patrol in the skies
G D
In the distance burns the flame of Grangemouth
G Bm
And the dream is lost everything what it could inspire
G D
From the take you know there is no distance
G Bm
How we talk about in the secret affairs
G D
Taking our ride into the distance
G
To be what it was or could have been
Bm
What I should have said
--------------------------------
RIFF 2
CHORUS
*******
Em G D
And all we're left with is the black black oil
Em G D
With a Strong sense of National pride
Em G D
Till we take some more steps to unity, Take it back to me
Em G D
Take it back In a city run out of luck
--------------------------------
RIFF 1
SYNTH - G D G Bm X2
******

RIFF 1
VERSE 3
********
G D
And all we're left with is the black, black oil
G Bm
With a strong sense of national pride
G D
Calling the ??? for identity
G
What it meant to me, what I said
Bm
What we could have had
G D
I saw a blue umbrella in Princes Street Gardens
G Bm
Heading out west for the Lothian Road
G D
An evening news stuffed deep in the pocket
G Bm
Little did I know that even carring a heavy load
--------------------------------
RIFF 2
CHORUS
*******
Em G D
And now we're left with is the black black oil
Em G D
With a strong sense of national pride
Em G D
Calling a name in the sake of unity
Em
What it means to me you'll never know
G D
You'll never know
Em G D
I see myself forced in servant exile
Em G D
Turning around at another's command
Em G D
All I want to see is identity
Em
What I could have been, What I did
G D
Could have been
