Capo 3 


Verse 

G        C             G 
As he stared past the fire, 
G       	            Em              C     G 
His hunger to leave well it gnawed his poor heart alive, 

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

       D           C         G 
sailed by... and a river she cried. 

G                                             

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

D        C                      G 
night... screaming run for your life. 


     Em           C   G          Em             C       G       Em    
With cool and silvery eyes and a heart that was fit for desire, drowned in a  

C        G          C         G          C          D                C 
river of tears oh a river she cried left her with a heart... made of ashes 

    G 
and fire.
