[Intro]
Gm F Bb Cm
Gm F Cm
[Verse 1]
GmI'm going home, Fto see my Bbfriend
In a Cmchapel town on the Bbbank of a river-Fbend
GmNothing's bright Fbut everything is Bbpale
And a Cmbruised breeze Bbfills a river man Fsails
Gm F Bb Cm
Gm F Cm
[Verse 2]
GmGraveyards gums Fhave grown new Bbteeth
CmPretty new pearls aBbdorned by pretty new Freeds
GmI twist my Ftongue and you bend my Bbear
Light aCmnother cigarette and Bbtell me you've had a bad Fyear
[Chorus]
Slipping Ebthrough ivorGmy stones
Familiar Bbfaces I don't Fknow
Channel Ebwine, bitter Gmpride
DeBbsigned to satisFfy
I Gmdrowned these thoughts Fby the riverBbsideCm  
Gm F Cm
[Verse 3]
GmThe river ink Fcomposes Bbpoems
Her Cmbridges break and the Bbboatmen punctFuate
GmShe teaches me Fthrough tides and Bbwakes
Her Cmwords are ripples and Bbwaves of frosted Flakes
[Chorus]
Slipping Ebthrough ivorGmy stones
Familiar Bbfaces I don't Fknow
Channel Ebwine, bitter Gmpride
DeBbsigned to satisFfy
I Gmdrowned these thoughts Fby the riverBbsideCm  
Gm F Cm
GmI'm going home, Fto see my Bbfriend
In a Cmchapel town on the Bbbank of a river-Fbend
GmI twist my Ftongue and you bend my Bbear
Light aCmnother cigarette and Bbtell me you've had a bad Fyear
