Verse 1:

Gm             F          Bb
I'm going home, to see my friend
     Cm                 Bb              F
In a chapel town on the bank of a river-bend
Gm              F                 Bb
Nothing's bright but everything is pale
      Cm             Bb                F
And a bruised breeze fills a river man sails

Gm F Bb Cm
Gm F Cm


Verse 2:

Gm             F              Bb
Graveyards gums have grown new teeth
Cm                 Bb                   F
Pretty new pearls adorned by pretty new reeds
Gm         F                      Bb
I twist my tongue and you bend my ear
       Cm                   Bb                       F
Light another cigarette and tell me you've had a bad year


Chorus:

         Eb          Gm
Slipping through ivory stones
         Bb            F
Familiar faces I don't know
        Eb           Gm
Channel wine, bitter pride
  Bb             F
Designed to satisfy
  Gm                    F            Bb    Cm
I drowned these thoughts by the riverside

Gm F Cm


Verse 3:

Gm           F         Bb
The river ink composes poems
    Cm                    Bb           F
Her bridges break and the boatmen punctuate
Gm            F                  Bb
She teaches me through tides and wakes
    Cm                    Bb               F
Her words are ripples and waves of frosted lakes


Chorus:

         Eb          Gm
Slipping through ivory stones
         Bb            F
Familiar faces I don't know
        Eb           Gm
Channel wine, bitter pride
  Bb             F
Designed to satisfy
  Gm                    F            Bb    Cm
I drowned these thoughts by the riverside

Gm F Cm

Gm             F          Bb
I'm going home, to see my friend
     Cm                 Bb              F
In a chapel town on the bank of a river-bend
Gm         F                      Bb
I twist my tongue and you bend my ear
       Cm                   Bb                       F
