Verse 1:

   A augmentedA
It's just gone noon
   G minorGm
Half past monsoon
    A augmentedA         G minorGm
On the banks of the river nile
   A augmentedA
Here comes the boat
   G minorGm
Only half-afloat
    A augmentedA         G minorGm
Oarsman grins a toothless smile
   A augmentedA
Only just one more
    G minorGm
To this desolate shore
   A augmentedA          G minorGm
Last boat along the river nile
    A augmentedA
Doesn't seem to care
    G minorGm
No more wind in his hair
   A augmentedA           G minorGm
As he reaches his last half mile
    DmDm
The oar snaps in his hand
     F minorFm
Before he reaches dry land
    DmDm            Bb7Bb7
But the sound doesn't deafen his smile
   DmDm
Just pokes at wet sand
    F minorFm
With an oar in his hand
    DmDm         C majorC
Floats off down the river nile
          BB   A7A7  Bb majorBb BB C majorC
Floats off down the river nile
