LONDON TOWN (Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate song) - Acoustic
By Gavin Dunne (Miracle Of Sound)
Tabbed by RuneMaster (Skye Wainman)
Credit to Chordify.net for detecting the chords which I’ve tweaked to get to this final product. This is my
first ever tab and I worked out the intro and bridge tabs purely by ear with help from Kendell1, the song was
originally written for electric guitar and piano so sorry if it isn’t 100% but I’m confident that it sounds
pretty cool either way. Enjoy!
Standard Tuning, no Capo
The solo piece in the intro and bridge is originally played on piano but we’ve tabbed it for Guitar. You can
play the bridge tab as a backing in the chorus if playing with two guitars.

Slaves in seas of soot we drown

Come on down to London town
Dm
The cogs they creak and the pistons pound

Smoke in Eden’s eyes
Dm
A million choking chimneys burn and

Blacken out the sky
Dm
Grab your mates and join us

Where the rats rejoice
Dm
The brazen brass of the working class
C G
Are here to find their voice

Revolution holds us bound

Break your back for class and crown

Come on down to London town

London’s bloody cry

Crippled to deliver

The spoils of industry

Crimson are the rivers

The cogs they creak and the pistons pound

Come on down to London town
