A Night On The River chords by De Burgh Chris

A Night On The River
Words & Music by Chris de Burgh

 G
Naked and frozen at the side of a lake,
 D
I think I've gone and made my big mistake,
Em
I took her swimming, we had a fight,
     D
Now my clothes and the lady are well out of sight,
    Em/D
And it looks like I'm heading for a night on__ the river,
Em
Under the moon and the stars,
Em
Looks like I'm heading for a night on__ the river,
    G
(Just) me and my beating heart, singing in the dark.

 Naked and frozen at the side of a lake,
 If she was here I wouldn't hesitate,
 To tell her how, the way things are,
 With a long conversation in the back of a car,
 And it looks like I'm heading for a night on the river,
 Under the moon and the stars,
 Could be I'm heading for a night on the river,
 Just me and my beating heart, singing in the dark;

G
Oh,----------------------------------------------------------
B
I think she owes me an explanation,
Em
She's got the whip hand in this situation,
  A
If I try to tell her just the way I feel,
    D
It could start the whole thing all over again,

   Em
Ooh, I think I'm heading for a night on__ the river,
Em
Under the moon and the stars,
Em
Could be I'm heading for a night on__ the river,
  G
But I see the lights of a car, shining in the dark,

Ooh, could be we're heading for a mm-mm,
Under the moon and the stars,
Could be we're heading for a mm-mm
Just you and me and our beating hearts,
