B A7
Verse 1:
It's A just gone noon
Half Gm past monsoon
On the A banks of the river Gm nile
Here A comes the boat
Only Gm half-afloat
Oarsman A grins a toothless Gm smile
Only A just one more
To this Gm desolate shore
Last A boat along the river Gm nile
Doesn't A seem to care
No more Gm wind in his hair
As he A reaches his last half Gm mile
The oar Dm snaps in his hand
Before he Fm reaches dry land
But the Dm sound doesn't deafen his Bb7 smile
Just Dm pokes at wet sand
With an Fm oar in his hand
Floats Dm off down the river C nile
Floats off down the B river A7 nile Bb B C
