A Night On The River Words & Music by Chris de Burgh G Naked and frozen at the side of a lake, Am D I think I've gone and made my big mistake, G Em I took her swimming, we had a fight, Am D Now my clothes and the lady are well out of sight, C D G D/F# Em Em/D And it looks like I'm heading for a night on__ the river, C D Em Under the moon and the stars, C D G D/F# Em Looks like I'm heading for a night on__ the river, C G/B Am D G (Just) me and my beating heart, singing in the dark. Naked and frozen at the side of a lake, If she was here I wouldn't hesitate, To tell her how, the way things are, With a long conversation in the back of a car, And it looks like I'm heading for a night on the river, Under the moon and the stars, Could be I'm heading for a night on the river, Just me and my beating heart, singing in the dark; G - C - G - D - G - C - G - D - C - G - D - Em - C - D - G Oh,---------------------------------------------------------- B I think she owes me an explanation, Em She's got the whip hand in this situation, A If I try to tell her just the way I feel, D It could start the whole thing all over again, C D G D/F# Em Ooh, I think I'm heading for a night on__ the river, C D Em Under the moon and the stars, C D G D/F# Em Could be I'm heading for a night on__ the river, C G/B Am D G But I see the lights of a car, shining in the dark, Ooh, could be we're heading for a mm-mm, Under the moon and the stars, Could be we're heading for a mm-mm Just you and me and our beating hearts, We're singing in the dark...
