Verse
G5        C5             G5
As he stared past the fire,
G5                         E5              C5     G5
His hunger to leave well it gnawed his poor heart alive,

    C5                 G5             C5       G5            C5               G5
Her skin smelled like black cherry, blossom perfume, the sail boats they all

       D5           C5         G5
sailed by... and a river she cried.

G5                                            

G5                         C5                      G5
and the wind was suddenly sweeter than Roosevelt pine,
G5                             E5              C5            G5                  
The windows broke out and the cigarette smoke was drifting by,
    C5           G5           C5                G5         C5            G5      
The bums on the bowery were swallowed in the lights as cars rumbled by in the

D5        C5                      G5
night... screaming run for your life.

Chorus
     E5           C5   G5          E5             C5       G5       E5   
With cool and silvery eyes and a heart that was fit for desire, drowned in a 

C5        G5          C5         G5          C5          D5                C5
river of tears oh a river she cried left her with a heart... made of ashes

    G5
and fire.
