G.....C...................G
as he stared past the fire

G................................C....................................G
his hunger to leave well it gnawed his poor heart alive

C...........................G
her skin smelled like black cherry

C..........G
blossom perfume

C.................G........................D
the sailboats they all sailed on by

........C.............G
and a river she cried

and the wind was suddenly sweeter than roosevelt pine
the windows broke out and the cigarette smoke was drifting by
the bums on the bowery they were swallowed in the lights
as cars rumbled out in the night
screaming run for your life


......Em.......C............G
with cool and silvery eyes

........Em............C..........G
and a heart it was fit for design

Em.............C..........G
drown in the river of tears oh

..C...........G
a river she cried

C..................D
left her with a heart

............C.............G
made of ashes and fire

one day there was a silence and it washed through the town
and there no reason and no one made a sound
her eyes were indigo
the cats were all calico
and the sailboats they all sailed on by
and a river she cried

with cool and silvery eyes
and a heart it was fit for design
drown in the river of tears oh
a river she cried
left her with a heart
made of ashes and fire
