verse
G C G
as he stared past the fire ,
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 .
