Full moon rising on an early frost

I'm dripping from the rivers I never meant to cross

To the alleys of London and her underground lungs
  A augmentedA           G+G      D MajorD
For copper and bread and a beggars good thumb

But I'll hold you as dear as the shore holds the sea
    A augmentedA          G+G     D MajorD
And for you, pretty baby, my loving is free
