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.
[Chorus]
     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.

G                    C                              G        
One day there was a silence that washed through the town

                       C                       G
there was no reason to speak and no one made a sound

    C         G          C             G
Her eyes were indigo the cats were all calico

    C               G          D    
the sail boats they all sailed by

       C         G
in the river she cried
[Chorus]
     Em           C   G          Em             C       G       Em   
With cool and silvery eyes and a heart that was fit for desire, drowned in a

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

    G
and fire.
