Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

('s and 's arpeggio')

River splashes against the rocks

 And I scale the slope I hope the tracks won't

 Lead me down to dark black pits or

 Places where we fall to bits

 If she were there I'd hold her down

 I'll push her under while she drowns and

 Couldn't breathe and call for air

 She doesn't care for my despair

 Or is it me? Am I the one that's wrong?

 (one that's wrong) You see it in the sea

 river cool's where I belong

 In my Mersey paradise

As I stare an oil wheel comes

 Sailing by and I feel like

 Growing pins and falling in

 With the bricks, the bikes, the rusty tin I

Swim along without a care

 I'll eating sand when I need air you can

Bet your life I'll meet a Pike who'll

 Wolf me down for tea tonight

 I want to be (I want to be)

 where the drownings are (drownings are)

You see it in the sea

 river cool's where I belong

 In my Mersey paradise

repeat chorus

(no chord)

Oh yeah
