Billie Marten – Ribbon (Guitar)

F#m                      B
Ribbon of the river by my side

                             F#     Bm B
I walk the shore and watch it unwind

    F#                                           B
The railway tracks still leave a glimpse of the light

                                    F#m     Bm
From the train, trailing sparks of gold behind

   F#m                C#m            B
And as soon as you've seen it, it's gone

   D               C#m            B
And as soon as you've seen it it's gone

D               F#m
Secrets of the city

D                 A
Make an aching in my heart

D                  F#m
And the mysteries that tease me so

   D                    C#m     A       B
I long to belong but I always have to go

F#m                             B
People stare and wonder why I stray

                                 F#m      B
They don't understand that wandering's my way

    F#                                    B
I'll never stop, though time's slipping away

                                  F#m  B 
The elusive light, shining strange on my face

D                   C#m            B
And as soon as you've seen it, it's gone

D                   C#m            B
And as soon as you've seen it, it's gone

D                 F#m
Secrets of the city

D                     A
Make an aching in my heart

D                       F#m
And the mysteries that tease me so

                   A              E     B
I long to belong, but I always have to go

     D                E      Bm
Hope ties me up with discontent

     D         C#m     Bm
Since the day I first went

F#m           C#m     Bm
Yearning to be back again

D          E          Bm
How will I return, and when?

D               F#m
Secrets of the city

D                  A 
Make an aching in heart 

D                      F#m
And the mysteries that tease me so

             D            C#m     E     B
I long to belong but I always have to go
