Em Em7 Em A7to her place near the river

D7 Am FYou can spend the night beside her

F Em7 Em Em7and you know she's half crazy

Em7 EmBut that's why you wanna be there

Bm E7 Am7 AmAnd she feeds you tea and oranges that come all the way from China

Em7 Emand just when you mean to tell her

Am7 Am Fthat you have no love to give her

F Em7 Em A7then she gets you in her wavelength

A7 Am D7and she lets the river answer

D7 Em7 Em7that you've always been her lover

Em7 Bm E7 Em7And you want to travel with her

Em7 Am7 Dm7and you want to travel blind

Dm7 Em7 Emand you know she will trust you

Em Am D7 Am7for you've touched her perfect body

Am7 Em7with your mind

Em7 Emwhen he walked upon the water

Am7 Am Fand he spent a long time watching

F Am D7 Am7from his lonely woodden tower

Am7 Em7 Emand when he knew for certain

Em Em7 Emonly drowing men could see him

Em Bm E7he said 'All men will be sailors

Em7 Am7 Dm7then until the sea shall free them'

Em7 Embut he himself was broken

Em Am D7 Am7long before the sky would open

Am7 Em7 Emforesaken almost human

F Em7 Emand the sun pours down like honey

Em7 Emon our lady of the harbour

Bm E7and she shows you where to look

E7 Am7 Amamong the garbage and the flowers
