The Navesink Banks chords by The Gaslight Anthem

Chords with lyrics

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: Chord diagramEb MajorEb

Intro: Am, F, Am, F, C, G, Chord diagramA minorAm x2

 Chord diagramA minorAm         Chord diagramFF      Chord diagramA minorAm           Chord diagramFF
"All hope abandon, ye who enter here"
         Chord diagramC majorC                    Chord diagramG+G                 Chord diagramA minorAm
Said the sign I read that was hanging above her bed
                    Chord diagramFF
And the siren's all willing
      Chord diagramA minorAm                   Chord diagramFF
But a man can't ignore the signs
         Chord diagramC majorC                       Chord diagramG+G            Chord diagramA minorAm
You gotta keep a good eye on the winding road ahead

    Chord diagramC majorC                 Chord diagramG+G              Chord diagramFF
And my first sin was a young American girl
    Chord diagramC majorC                 Chord diagramG+G              Chord diagramFF
And my first sin was a young American girl
Interlude: Am, F, Am, F, C, G, Chord diagramA minorAm

      Chord diagramA minorAm                    Chord diagramFF
And I spent time 'neath the trestles
         Chord diagramA minorAm                      Chord diagramFF
With the punks and the dimestore saints
         Chord diagramC majorC                      Chord diagramG+G                 Chord diagramFF
We kept faith and a switchblade tucked beneath my coat (Baby, just in case)
                     Chord diagramFF
And I ran with dirty angels
Chord diagramA minorAm               Chord diagramFF
Slept out in the rain
        Chord diagramC majorC                    Chord diagramG+G            Chord diagramA minorAm
We were scared and tired and barely seventeen

    Chord diagramC majorC                   Chord diagramG+G                 Chord diagramFF
And my first sin was the fear that made me old
    Chord diagramC majorC                   Chord diagramG+G                 Chord diagramFF
And my first sin was the fear that made me old


Interlude: Am, F, Am, F, C, G, Chord diagramA minorAm

          Chord diagramFF
And now I walk down by the shipyards
         Chord diagramG+G
Near the place where I was born
         Chord diagramC majorC                            Chord diagramFF
Saying, "Oh Maria, if you'da known me when"
    Chord diagramA minorAm       Chord diagramFF              Chord diagramA minorAm                   Chord diagramFF
But she only smiles by the light on the Navesink Banks
         Chord diagramC majorC           Chord diagramG+G           Chord diagramA minorAm
Saying, "Listen baby, I know you now"

     Chord diagramA minorAm                 Chord diagramFF
Then she steps into the river
    Chord diagramA minorAm                  Chord diagramFF
And I just stand by the moon
 Chord diagramC majorC                     Chord diagramG+G          Chord diagramA minorAm
Thinking 'bout a ghost I hear at night
               Chord diagramC majorC                   Chord diagramG+G                   Chord diagramFF
And she says, "Your first sin was a lie you told yourself.
     Chord diagramC majorC                   Chord diagramG+G             Chord diagramFF
"And your first sin was a lie you told... to yourself.
