Chords with lyrics

[Intro]
A minorAm G+G FF C majorC FF DmDm FF DmDm G+G

[Verse]
A minorAm
A augmentedA grief came riding
G+G
On the wind
FF       C majorC
Up the sun on river Thames
FF                 DmDm
I was sittin' on the bank with my mouth open
FF   DmDm     G+G    G+G   FF C majorC G+G
When I felt it entering

A minorAm             G+G
I began thinkin' about our wedding day
FF         C majorC
And how love was a vow
FF            DmDm
I was thinkin' about the chamber door
FF      DmDm  G+G    G+G   FF C majorC G+G
Only we can enter now

A minorAm             G+G
I began thinkin' about our ancient friends
FF          C majorC
And of kissin' them goodbye
FF              DmDm
And then the wind blew under Battersea bridge
FF        DmDm   G+G    G+G   FF C majorC G+G
And a tear broke from my eye

A minorAm            G+G
I started thinkin' about London
FF           C majorC
And nothing good ever came from this town
FF              DmDm
and if the Thames weren't so filthy
FF          DmDm    G+G
I would jump in the river and drown

[Chorus]
G+G   FF C majorC G+G
Don't be a-fraid
G+G    C majorC
Come on down
     A minorAm
I'm just sittin' here
  G+G       C majorC
And thinking (out) loud

[Verse]
A minorAm
A augmentedA grief came riding
G+G
On the wind
FF           C majorC
Up the river where the bridges crouch
FF       DmDm
Blowin' people back and fall
FF              DmDm     G+G    G+G   FF C majorC G+G
From the marital bed to the psychiatric couch

A minorAm       G+G
Blowin' people far apart
FF         C majorC
Blowin' others so they collide
FF             DmDm
Blowin' some poor bastard right out of the water
FF          DmDm   G+G    G+G   FF C majorC G+G
blowin' another one over the side

A minorAm          G+G
Hear the ancient iron bridge
FF        C majorC
And listen to it groan
FF               DmDm
with the weight of a thousand people
FF      DmDm   G+G    G+G   FF C majorC G+G
Leavin' or returning home

A minorAm
To their failures
G+G
To their bordems
FF
To their husbands
C majorC
And their wives
FF              DmDm
who are carving them up for dinner
FF      DmDm  G+G
before they even arrive

[Chorus]
G+G   FF C majorC G+G
Don't be a-fraid
G+G    C majorC
Come on down
     A minorAm
I'm just sittin' here
  G+G       C majorC
And thinking (out) loud

A minorAm             G+G
And look they just blow the water
FF           C majorC
See the saviour of the human race
FF            DmDm
Where the fishes and the frogs
FF       DmDm      G+G
Has found his final resting place

[Chorus]
G+G   FF C majorC G+G
Don't be a-fraid
G+G    C majorC
Come on down
     A minorAm
I'm just sittin' here
  G+G       C majorC
