Intro: Em C Em C 

Em 
She's a swan in the city 
                             C 
She belongs to the melody line 
Em 
Every push is a promise 
                            C 
Every pull is a bottle of wine 

Em 
I'm a gull in the gutter 
                               C 
I belong to the clutter and rain 
Em 
She's a swan in the city 
                     C 
And I let her get away 

             G        G/F#                 Em           C 
I should be gone, and on to another fair maiden by now 
               G          G/F#                   Em                  C 
Shoot for the spring, put wing to the water and soar out of this town 
     G                     G/F#              Em             C 
But I'll be here when the winter trades the color for the white 
     D 
And she'll be gone and on to another sky 

Em C 

Em 
She is lost to the lions 
                                 C 
She believes in the heavier things 
Em 
Every kiss has a cadence 
                                 C 
Every kill has the courage of kings 

Em 
I'm a sheep to the slaughter 
                           C 
I'm asleep in a watery grave 
Em 
She is lost to the lions 
                     C 
And I let her get away 

             G        G/F#                 Em           C 
I should be gone, and on to another fair maiden by now 
               G          G/F#                   Em                  C 
Shoot for the spring, put wing to the water and soar out of this town 
     G                     G/F#              Em               C 
But I'll be here when the winter trades the color for the gray 
     D 
And she'll be gone and on, she'll be gone and on 

             G        G/F#                 Em          C 
I should be gone, and on to another fair maiden by now 
              G          G/F#                   Em                     C 
Head for the south, the mouth of the river that cuts across this ground 
     G                     G/F#              Em                C 
But I'll be here when the winter drains the summer from the sun 
     D 
And she'll be gone and on, she'll be gone and on to another love 

Em C 

Em 
She's a swan in the city 
                             C 
She belongs to the melody line 
Em 
Every push is a promise 
                            C 
Every pull is a bottle of wine
