INTRO: E B A x2 D A E x2 VERSE: E B A E B A Dave was from out of town Manchester?s likely too D A E D A E Had read De Sade to Marx More read than me or you E B A E B A Scaffolding pays good bread It pays for drugs and kicks D A E D A E Dave only had one love had no real need for chicks F# G A F# G A F# Dave was so far ahead but now he?s dead CHORUS: E B A D A E I?m not going to cry I bet he hit the water high I?m not going to cry I bet he hit the water high VERSE: I guess he lost control, and welcomed in the night It was too much for him , what were his thoughts that night? The river thames is cold, it keeps on flowing on But it left Dave alone, it just kept flowing on. F# G A F# G A F# There?s city sickness here but now he?s dead CHORUS: E B A D A E I?m not going to cry I bet he hit the water high I?m not going to cry I bet he hit the water high BREAK: Ab A B C# Late night a street in the west of the city There was a place there where he lost himself Strange feelings did he feel there, strange people Did he meet there, angry sounds did he hear there D A Like the howling of bulls?.. CHORUS: E B A D A E I?m not going to cry I bet he hit the water high I?m not going to cry I bet he hit the water high
