Verse 1:
C A#m
It's just gone noon, half past Monsoon,
C A#m
On the banks of The River Nile.
C A#m
Here comes the boat, only half-afloat,
C A#m
Oarsman grins a toothless smile.
C A#m
Only just one more, to this desolate shore,
C A#m
Last boat along The River Nile.
C A#m
Doesn't seem to care; no more wind in his hair,
C A#m
As he reaches his last half mile.
Fm C#7
The oar snaps in his hand, before he reaches dry land,
Fm C#7
But the sound doesn't deafen his smile.
Fm C#7
Just pokes at wet sand, with an oar in his hand;
Fm D#
Floats off down the River Nile,
D C7 C# D D# E
Floats off down the River Nile.
