Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[Am][G][F][C][F][Dm]
[F][Dm][G]

[Verse 1]
[Am]A
grief [G]came riding on the wind
[F]Up the[C] southern river Thames
[F]I was sitting on the bank
[Dm]with my mouth open
[F]And I felt it [Dm]ente[G]ring

[Verse 2]
[Am]I began thinking about our
[G]wedding [F]day
And how love was a [C]vow[F]
And I was thinking about
the cham[Dm]ber door
Only [F]we can [Dm]enter [G]now[Am]

[Verse 3]
I began thinking about [G]our
ancient [F]friends
And of kissing them [C]good[F]bye
And then the wind blew under
Bat[Dm]tersea Bridge
And [F]a tear broke [Dm]from my [G]eye[F][G]

[Verse 4]
[Am]I started thinking about
[G]London[F]
And nothing good ever [C]came
from this [F]town
And if the Thames weren't [Dm]so filthy
I would [F]jump into the [Dm]river and [G]drown
Don't [F]be [G]afraid

[Verse 5]
Come [C]on down
I'm just [Am]sit ting here t[G]hinking loud
[C][Am]

[Verse 6]
A grief came [G]riding on the wind
[F]Up the river where the
[C]bridges [F]crouch
Blowing people [Dm]back and forth
From the mar[F]ital bed to the
[Dm]psychiatric [G]couch[F][G]

[Verse 7]
[Am]Blowing people far a[G]part
[F]Blowing others so the[C]y collide
[F]Blowing some poor bastard
right out [Dm]of the water
Blowing [F]another one [Dm]over the [G]side[F][G]

[Verse 8]
[Am]Hear the ancie[G]nt iron- bridg[F]e
And listen to it [C]groan
[F]With the weight of a thousand peo[Dm]ple
[F]Leaving or re [Dm]turning home[G]

[Verse 9]
[Am]To their failures
[G]To the[F]ir boredoms
To their [C]husbands and their
[F]wives
Who are carving them up for din[Dm]ner
Be[F]fore they [Dm]even ar[G]rive
Don't [F]be afraid

[Verse 10]
[G]
Come on [C]down
I'm just sit[Am]ting here [G]thinking [C]loud

[Interlude 1]
[Am][G][F][C]
[F][Dm][F][Dm][G][Am]

[Verse 11]
Now look there just below the [G]water
[F]See the savior of the hum[C]an rac[F]e
With the fishes [Dm]and the frogs
Has [F]found his [Dm]final resting [G]place

[Verse 12]
Don't be [G]afraid
[C]Come on down
I'm just sit[Am]ting here [G]thinking loud
