To sound correct with the original recording this song should be played with the bar chords indicated... However, it can be played poorly with a Capo on the first fret, using C6/F/C6/G
C#6F# Across the street the river runs C#6G# Down in the gutter life is slipping away C#6F# Let me still exist in another place, C#6G#C#6 Running down under cover Of a helicopter blade
C#6F# The flames are getting higher, in effigy C#6G# Burning down the bridges of my memory C#6F# Love may still alive somewhere someday C#6G#C#6 where they're downing only deer, a hundred steel towns away
C#6F# Oh, rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum C#6G# with the words "I Love you" rolling off my tongue C#6F# No never will I roam, for I know my place is home C#6G#C#6 Where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailing
C#6F# Photographs and kerosene C#6G# light up my darkness,light it up, light it up C#6F# I can still feel the touch of your thin blue jeans C#6G#C#6 Running down the alley, I've got my eyes all over you, baby, Oh, baby
C#6F# Oh, rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum C#6G# with the words "I Love you" rolling off my tongue C#6F# No never will I roam, for I know my place is home C#6G#C#6G#C#6 Where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailing (I'll be sailing)
...Oh, yeah...
C#6F# Oh, I've got lightning in my veins, C#6G# shifting like the handle of a slot machine C#6F# Love may still exist, in another place. C#6G#C#6 I'm just yanking back the handle, no expression on my face.
== Chorus 3x ==
C#6F# Oh, rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum C#6G# with the words "I Love you" rolling off my tongue C#6F# No never will I roam, for I know my place is home C#6G#C#6 Where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailing
