The Navesink Banks by The Gaslight Anthem. Only a bonus track to Handwritten but a superb song nonetheless and one of my personal favourites. I don't think any tab on here has it quite right yet so here is what I believe is correct. Tuning: Eb Intro: Am, F, Am, F, C, G, Am x2 Am F Am F "All hope abandon, ye who enter here" C G Am Said the sign I read that was hanging above her bed F And the siren's all willing Am F But a man can't ignore the signs C G Am You gotta keep a good eye on the winding road ahead C G F And my first sin was a young American girl C G F And my first sin was a young American girl Interlude: Am, F, Am, F, C, G, Am Am F And I spent time 'neath the trestles Am F With the punks and the dimestore saints C G F We kept faith and a switchblade tucked beneath my coat (Baby, just in case) F And I ran with dirty angels Am F Slept out in the rain C G Am We were scared and tired and barely seventeen C G F And my first sin was the fear that made me old C G F And my first sin was the fear that made me old Interlude: Am, F, Am, F, C, G, Am F And now I walk down by the shipyards G Near the place where I was born C F Saying, "Oh Maria, if you'da known me when" Am F Am F But she only smiles by the light on the Navesink Banks C G Am Saying, "Listen baby, I know you now" Am F Then she steps into the river Am F And I just stand by the moon C G Am Thinking 'bout a ghost I hear at night C G F And she says, "Your first sin was a lie you told yourself. C G F "And your first sin was a lie you told... to yourself. Outro: Am, F, Am, F, C, G, Am x2 And if you want to know the little riff he plays at certain parts of the song it is this: E|-02h-------------| A|----02p0---------| D|-----------------| G|-----------------| B|-----------------| E|-----------------|
