Tom: C
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
