Poughkeepsie

               G
I thought I'd go up Poughkeepsie,
      C
look out o'er the Hudson,
       G                         
and I'd throw my body down on the 
  D
river.
       G
And I'd know no more sorrow,
      C
I'd fly like the sparrow
         G                      
and I'd ride on the backs of the 
 D          G
angels tonight.

      D                       C   
I'd ride on the backs of the 
       G
angels tonight.
      D                   C   
I'd take to the sky with all my 
     G
might.
 G
No more drowning in my sorrow,
 G                      C
no more drowning in my fright,
           G                     
I'd just ride on the backs of the 
  D       G
angels tonight.

            G
There are those who know sorrow
     C
and those who must borrow
      G                       
and those whose lot in life is 
    D
sweet.

          G
Well I'm drunk on self-pity,
         C
scorned all that's been given me,
           G                       
I would drink from a bottle labeled
 D      G
 Sure Defeat.


      D                       C   
I'd ride on the backs of the 
       G
angels tonight.
      D                   C   
I'd take to the sky with all my 
     G
might.
 G
No more drowning in my sorrow,
 G                      C
no more drowning in my fright,
           G                     
I'd just ride on the backs of the 
  D       G
angels tonight.

           G
Then the skies, they fell open
         C
and my eyes were opened
     G                          
to a world of hope falling at my 
   D
feet.
         G
Now I've no more or less
       C
than anyone else has,
        G                  D  
what I have is a gift of life I 
          G
can't repeat.

      G
So I go up Poughkeepsie,
      C
look out o'er the Hudson
        G                    D
and I cast my worries to the sky.
         G
Now I still know sorrow,
           C
but I can fly like the sparrow
          G                      D
'cause I ride on the backs of the 
         G
angels tonight.


      D                       C   
I ride on the backs of the angels 
       G
tonight.
      D                   C    
I take to the sky with all their 
    G
might.
 G
No more drowning in my sorrow,
 G                      C
no more drowning in my fright,
           G                       
I'll just ride on the backs of the 
 D           G
angels each night.
