Intro:
G (Fig 1)

1st verse:
        C               G     (Fig 
1)
As he stood past the fire,
                             C      
                G     (Fig 1)
His hunger to leave well it gnawed 
his poor heart alive,
     Em                            
   C                    G
                         D
Her skin smelled like black cherry, 
blossom perfume, the sail boats they
 all sailed
       C          G      (Fig 1)
and a river she cried.

2nd verse:
And the wind was suddenly 
sweeter than Roosevelt pine,
The windows broke out and the 
cigarette smoke was drifting by,

The bums on the bowery were 
swallowed in the lights as cars 
rumbled by in the night
Screaming run for your life.

Chorus:
      Em        C         G      
(Fig 1)
With cool and silvery eyes
       Em              C        G   
   (Fig 1)
And a heart that was fit for desire
 Em             C        G       
    C
G           C          D
Drowned in a river of tears oh a 
river she cried left her 
with a heart
         C           G      (Fig 1)
Made of ashes and fire.

3rd verse:
One day there was a silence and it 
washed through the town,
and there was no reason to speak so 
no one made a sound,
her eyes were indigo and the cats 
were all Calico and the sail boats 
they all sailed
by... and a river she cried.

Chorus:
With cool and silvery eyes
And a heart that was fit for desire
Drowned in a river of tears oh a 
river she cried left her 
with a heart
Made of ashes and fire.
 C          G
Ashes and fire
 C          G
Ashes and fire
 C          G
Ashes and fire
