DAD
Intro:
D A D
For two days the river keeps you down
A G D
Then you rise to the light without a sound
D A D
Past the playgrounds and empty switching yards
A G D
The turtles eat the skin from your eyes, so they lay open to the stars
D A D
Your clothes give way to the current and river stone
A D
'Till every trace of who you ever were is gone
D A D
And the things of the earth they make their claim
A G D
That the things of heaven may do the same
G D
Goodbye, my darling, for your love I give God thanks,
D G
Meet me on the Matamoros
D G
Meet me on the Matamoros
D A D
Meet me on the Matamoros banks
D A D
Over rivers of stone and ancient ocean beds
A G D
I walk on twine and tire tread
D A D
My pockets full of dust, my mouth filled with cool stone
A D
The pale moon opens the earth to its bones
G D A D
I long, my darling, for your kiss, for your sweet love I give God thanks
G D
The touch of your loving fingertips
D G
Meet me on the Matamoros
D G
Meet me on the Matamoros
D A D D A D
Meet me on the Matamoros banks
D A D
Your sweet memory comes on the evenin' wind
A G D
I sleep and dream of holding you in my arms again
D A D
The lights of Brownsville, across the river shine
A D
A shout rings out and into the silty red river I dive
G D A D
I long, my darling, for your kiss, for your sweet love I give God thanks
G D
A touch of your loving fingertips
D G
Meet me on the Matamoros
D G
Meet me on the Matamoros
D A D
Meet me on the Matamoros banks
D G
Meet me on the Matamoros
D G
Meet me on the Matamoros
D A D
Meet me on the Matamoros banks
