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
