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

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

Little did I know that even carring a heavy load

  And now we're left with is the black black oil

  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
