[Intro]

Dm Dm Am Am 
Gm Gm F A7 
 
 
[Verse 1]

   Dm
We walk every morning 

in the silence
         Am
Past the mills on Whetley Lane
          Gm
Where the lights went out 

for the very last time
         F               A7
And they never came on again
    Dm
The spokesmen 

all shred crocodile tears
       Am
In the glory of the news at ten
        Gm
But the proudest eyes are long since dry
            F                 A7
And they're never gonna cry again
 
 
[Chorus]

     Dm                     
I salute your courage and 
  Am
I toast to your health
      Gm
I wish you all the luck 

in the whole wide world
        F                      
May you never be broken 
           A7
like they say you will
 
 
[Verse]

Dm
Waking up sudden from a nightmare
         Am
You were walking in the line in pain
       Gm
With a shaven head to 

the slaughterhouse
        F                 A7
And you never came back again
        Dm
But she took me in her arms 

and she held me
      Am
Close tight for a minute or two
       Gm
And then we smiled and laughed, 

closed our eyes
F            A7
Slept again, thinking of you
 
 
[Chorus]

        Dm                         
And the way that it is, 
           Am
the way that it really is
         Gm
With the money talking 

and a scapegoat lover
         F                 
With the painted face 
     A7
of a scolding mother
    Dm                      
I salute your courage and 
  Am
I toast to your health
      Gm
I wish you all the luck 

in the whole wide world
        F                      
May you never be broken 
       A7
like they say you will be

[Bridge]

     Ab               
Now lost in time, 
    A                E
cut off from history
     Ab                        
This is not knowledge, 
        A            B
this is information

[Chorus]
                 Dm                      
Dear Friend, I salute your 
              Am
courage and I toast to your health
      Gm
I wish you all the luck 

in the whole wide world
        F                         
May you never be broken 
          A7
like they say you will
        Dm                              
But the way that it is, 
                Am
yeah the way that it really is
         Gm
With the money talking 

and a scapegoat lover
         F                 
With the painted face 
     A7
of a scolding mother
 
 
[Outro]

   Dm
We're walking here 

in silence every morning
         Am
Past the mills on Whetley Lane
          Gm
Where the lights went out 

for the very last time
         F                A7
And they never came on again
         Dm
And they never came on 

again (never came on)
         Am                                       
And they never came on 
                           Gm
again (never came on) a - gain
