INTRO:  Dm  
      (  Dm   F   C   Dm) x3
A Dmstron wind blew aFcross the bay
A Cword for happiness Dmon that day
The Dmworkers board their Ftrains for home
Their Cshirts were dirty and Dmdamp
And I Fstood there Cjust like beDmfore
A Dmnod from a stud or a Csmile from a whore
It Fall seemed so imDmpermanent though
I Cthink that it never will Amchange
INSTR: (  Dm   F   C   Dm)x2
I Dmwent down the old Fnarrow road
That Cleads to the shore and to DmSally's old boat
I Dmwent aboard and I Frowed away
To Cget to the other Dmside
And they Fall lit a Cfire on the Dmbeach that night
And Dmall their Ftroubles were out of Csight
I Fjust walked in and I Dmtied the boat
To a Ctree in the edge of the Amwood
INSTR: (  Dm   F   C  Dm) x2 
        C Dm
And they Dmall sang a song called the Fbottle of smoke
They Cblew their whistles, their Dmdrums they stroke
And the Dmfair young ladies thay Fdanced in the night
To the Csound of the band in the DmflickeCring Dmlight
