_ _ [Am] _ The grief came [G] riding on the wind _ [F] up _ the
[C] Southern River Tim _ [F] I
Was sitting on the bank with [Dm] my mouth open
_ And [F] I [Dm]
felt it [G] entering _ I
_ _ [Am] _ _
Began thinking about [G] a wedding day
_ _ [F] _ And how love [C] was a vow
_ Now [F] _ _
I was thinking about [Dm] the chamber door only [F] _ We [Dm] can _ _ [G] I _
_ began [Am] _ _ _
thinking about [G] our ancient friends _ [F] _ and
of kissing [C] them _ _
And _ [F] _ _
then the wind blew [Dm] under Battersea Bridge and [F] a tear [Dm] broke from
_ [G] _ _ _
_ [F] _ [G] [Am] I _
started thinking [G] about _ London
_ _ [F] _ _
Nothing good [C] ever came from this _ [F] town
And if the Thames [Dm] weren't so filthy _ I
[F] would jump [Dm] in the river [G] and _
_ [F] Don't be [G] _
afraid _ Come [C] on _
_ _ I'm [Am] just sitting [G] here and thinking a [C] _
lot _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _
a grief came riding
[G] _
on the wind
[F] _
up the river where [C] the bridges crowd
[F] _ _
Blowing _ [Dm] people back and fall from [F] the marital [Dm] bed to the [G] psychiatric _ _ [F] house
[G] _ _ [Am] _
Blowing people [G] _
far _ apart
[F] _ _
Blowing others [C] so they _ collide
_ [F] _
Blowing some pop bastard [Dm] right out of the water _ [F] Lonely
Over [D] _ _ [G] the _ side
[F] _ [G] _ [Am] Hear the _ [G] ancient _
iron _ [F] bridge and
Listen to [C] it grow
_ _ _ [F] With a weight [C] of a [Dm] thousand _ people _ _ [F] _ _
[Dm] even our return [G] in home
[F] _ [G] [Am] To _ their failures [G] _ to their _ _ [F] boredoms to their
_ [C] husbands and their _ _ [F] wives
The work of them up [Dm] for dinner _
_ _ [F] Before _ [Dm] they even
[G] _ _ _
[F] Don't [C] be [G] _ afraid _ Come [C] on _
_ I'm [Am] just sitting [G] here and thinking a [C] _ lot
_ _ _ _ _ _

[Dm] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
Now look, they're just [G] below the water
_ See [F] _ _ _
the Savior [C] of the human _ [F] race _
With the fishes [Dm] and the frogs
[F] Has found [Dm] his final [G] rest in place
_ [C] Don't be [G] _
afraid _ Come [C] on
_ _ I'm [Am] just sitting [G] here thinking
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
