Gm F Cm 


verse 1 
  
Gm             F          Bb   
I'm going home, to see my friend 
     Cm                 Bb              F 
In a chapel town on the bank of a river-bend 
Gm              F                 Bb 
Nothing's bright but everything is pale 
      Cm             Bb                F 
And a bruised breeze fills a river man sails 

Gm F Bb Cm 
Gm F Cm 


verse 2 

Gm             F              Bb 
Graveyards gums have grown new teeth 
Cm                 Bb                   F 
Pretty new pearls adorned by pretty new reeds 
Gm         F                      Bb 
I twist my tongue and you bend my ear 
       Cm                   Bb                       F 
Light another cigarette and tell me you've had a bad year 

         Eb          Gm 
Slipping through ivory stones 
         Bb            F 
Familiar faces I don't know 
        Eb           Gm 
Channel wine, bitter pride 
  Bb             F 
Designed to satisfy 
  Gm                    F            Bb    Cm 
I drowned these thoughts by the riverside 

Gm F Cm 


verse 3 

Gm           F         Bb   
The river ink composes poems 
    Cm                    Bb           F 
Her bridges break and the boatmen punctuate 
Gm            F                  Bb 
She teaches me through tides and wakes 
    Cm                    Bb               F 
Her words are ripples and waves of frosted lakes 

         Eb          Gm 
Slipping through ivory stones 
         Bb            F 
Familiar faces I don't know 
        Eb           Gm 
Channel wine, bitter pride 
  Bb             F 
Designed to satisfy 
  Gm                    F            Bb    Cm 
I drowned these thoughts by the riverside 

Gm F Cm 

Gm             F          Bb   
I'm going home, to see my friend 
     Cm                 Bb              F 
In a chapel town on the bank of a river-bend 
Gm         F                      Bb 
I twist my tongue and you bend my ear 
       Cm                   Bb                       F 
Light another cigarette and tell me you've had a bad year
