[Verse 1]
C/G
she tows the line
F C/G
up the river, through the low lands
G C/G
hanging out on the jetty,
F G
by the arcade, it ain't high
C/G
see it so clear in her eyes
F C/G
she won't be bringing it up again
F C/G
so she rises and goes
F C/G
so they'd never know
F G C/G
that she even came here at all
[Verse 2]
C/G
couldn't count the times
F C/G
we'd believe in, just for going
G C/G
walking the banks of the levy
F G
where the old hopes all get thrown
C/G
as soon as we drift from their sight
F C/G
they won't dare bring our names up again
F C/G
and we'll rise and we'll hope
F C/G
that they'll never know
F G C/G
that we even came here at all
[Chorus]
C/G G
Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo
[Verse 3]
C/G
he thinks we ride
F C/G
on the meadow, heavy rolling
G C/G
heading into the city
F G
like they all have some place to go
C/G
to leave it now, so far behind
F C/G
you can't blame people for giving in
F C/G
to decide where they go
F C/G
so they never know
F G C/G
that we even came here at all
[Chorus]
C/G G
Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo (x6)
