Am G F C F Dm F Dm G
[Verse]
Am A grief came riding G On the wind F C Up the sun on river Thames F Dm I was sittin' on the bank with my mouth open F Dm G G F C G When I felt it entering Am G I began thinkin' about our wedding day F C And how love was a vow F Dm I was thinkin' about the chamber door F Dm G G F C G Only we can enter now Am G I began thinkin' about our ancient friends F C And of kissin' them goodbye F Dm And then the wind blew under Battersea bridge F Dm G G F C G And a tear broke from my eye Am G I started thinkin' about London F C And nothing good ever came from this town F Dm and if the Thames weren't so filthy F Dm G I would jump in the river and drown
[Chorus]
G F C G Don't be a-fraid G C Come on down Am I'm just sittin' here G C And thinking (out) loud
[Verse]
Am A grief came riding G On the wind F C Up the river where the bridges crouch F Dm Blowin' people back and fall F Dm G G F C G From the marital bed to the psychiatric couch Am G Blowin' people far apart F C Blowin' others so they collide F Dm Blowin' some poor bastard right out of the water F Dm G G F C G blowin' another one over the side Am G Hear the ancient iron bridge F C And listen to it groan F Dm with the weight of a thousand people F Dm G G F C G Leavin' or returning home Am To their failures G To their bordems F To their husbands C And their wives F Dm who are carving them up for dinner F Dm G before they even arrive
[Chorus]
G F C G Don't be a-fraid G C Come on down Am I'm just sittin' here G C And thinking (out) loud Am G And look they just blow the water F C See the saviour of the human race F Dm Where the fishes and the frogs F Dm G Has found his final resting place
[Chorus]
G F C G Don't be a-fraid G C Come on down Am I'm just sittin' here G C And thinking (out) loud
