Listen to the song for the rhythm and hammer ons..
[Verse] GCG As he stared past the fire, GEmCG His hunger to leave well it gnawed his poor heart alive,
CGCGCG Her skin smelled like black cherry, blossom perfume, the sail boats they all
DCG sailed by... and a river she cried.
G
GCG and the wind was suddenly sweeter than Roosevelt pine, GEmCG The windows broke out and the cigarette smoke was drifting by, CGCGCG The bums on the bowery were swallowed in the lights as cars rumbled by in the
DCG night... screaming run for your life.
[Chorus] EmCGEmCGEm With cool and silvery eyes and a heart that was fit for desire, drowned in a
CGCGCDC 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]
GCG One day there was a silence that washed through the town CG there was no reason to speak and no one made a sound CGCG Her eyes were indigo the cats were all calico CGD the sail boats they all sailed by CG in the river she cried
[Chorus] EmCGEmCGEm With cool and silvery eyes and a heart that was fit for desire, drowned in a
CGCGCDC river of tears oh a river she cried left her with a heart... made of ashes
