[Verse]
G C G
As he stared past the fire,
G Em C G
His hunger to leave well it gnawed his poor heart alive,
C G C G C G
Her skin smelled like black cherry, blossom perfume, the sail boats they all
D C G
sailed by... and a river she cried.
G
G C G
and the wind was suddenly sweeter than Roosevelt pine,
G Em C G
The windows broke out and the cigarette smoke was drifting by,
C G C G C G
The bums on the bowery were swallowed in the lights as cars rumbled by in the
D C G
night... screaming run for your life.
[Chorus]
Em C G Em C G Em
With cool and silvery eyes and a heart that was fit for desire, drowned in a
C G C G C D C
river of tears oh a river she cried left her with a heart... made of ashes
G
and fire.
[Instrumental]
Play G for one bar then
Repeat chords for chorus
[Verse]
G C G
One day there was a silence that washed through the town
C G
there was no reason to speak and no one made a sound
C G C G
Her eyes were indigo the cats were all calico
C G D
the sail boats they all sailed by
C G
in the river she cried
[Chorus]
Em C G Em C G Em
With cool and silvery eyes and a heart that was fit for desire, drowned in a
C G C G C D C
river of tears oh a river she cried left her with a heart... made of ashes
G
and fire.
[Outro]
Em C G G
Ashes and fire (repeat x3)
