Matamoros Banks chords by Bruce Springsteen

Guitar chords with lyrics

D A D


          D           A                D
For two days the river keeps you down

            A             G               D
Then you rise to the light without a sound

              D               A                 D
Past the playgrounds and empty switching yards

                      A                                 G              D
The turtles eat the skin from your eyes, so they lay open to the stars

         D                        A                  D
Your clothes give way to the current and river stone

              A                              D
'Till every trace of who you ever were is gone

           D               A                      D
And the things of the earth they make their claim

            A            G                  D
That the things of heaven may do the same


 G                               D
Goodbye, my darling, for your love I give God thanks.

  D                    G
Meet me on the Matamoros

  D                    G
Meet me on the Matamoros

  D               A            D
Meet me on the Matamoros banks


                 D            A              D
Over rivers of stone and ancient ocean beds

             A          G         D
I walk on twine and tire tread

                      D          A                       D
My pockets full of dust, my mouth filled with cool sone

                A                         D
The pale moon opens the earth to its bones

     G                            D                      A                 D
I long, my darling, for your kiss, for your sweet love I give God thanks.


        G                         D
The touch of your loving fingertips

  D                     D                    G
Meet me on the Matam eet me on the Matamoros

  D               A            D                   D     A      D
Meet me on the Matamoros banks


              D            A                 D
Your sweet memory comes on the evenin' wind

              A             G                     D
I sleep and dream of holding you in my arms again

                 D             A                   D
The lights of Brownsville, across the river shine

                A                                    D
A shout rings out and into the silty red river I dive

     G                            D                      A                  D
I long, my darling, for your kiss, for your sweet love I give God thanks.


      G                         D
A touch of your loving fingertips

  D                    G
Meet me on the Matamoros

  D                    G
Meet me on the Matamoros

  D               A           D
Meet me on the Matamoros banks


  D                    G
Meet me on the Matamoros

  D                    G
Meet me on the Matamoros

  D               A           D
Meet me on the Matamoros banks
