1st verse:

        C               G     (Fig 1)

As he stood past the fire,

                             C                      G     (Fig 1)

His hunger to leave well it gnawed his poor heart alive,

     Em                               C                    G  

                         D

Her skin smelled like black cherry, blossom perfume, the sail boats they all sailed

and a river she cried.

 

2nd verse:

And the wind was suddenly sweeter than Roosevelt pine,

The windows broke out and the cigarette smoke was drifting by,

The bums on the bowery were swallowed in the lights as cars rumbled by in the night

Screaming run for your life.

 

Chorus:

      Em        C         G      (Fig 1)

With cool and silvery eyes

And a heart that was fit for desire

 Em             C        G           C         

G           C          D

Drowned in a river of tears oh a river she cried left her with a heart

Made of ashes and fire.

3rd verse:

One day there was a silence and it washed through the town,

and there was no reason to speak so no one made a sound,

her eyes were indigo and the cats were all Calico and the sail boats they all sailed 

by... and a river she cried.

 

Chorus:

With cool and silvery eyes

And a heart that was fit for desire

Drowned in a river of tears oh a river she cried left her with a heart

Made of ashes and fire.
