Guitar 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: 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
