Am
I spend my nights down on the wharf
E Am
In unlit alleyways
Am
By the church downtown
E Am
Where Sally prays
F G
Come down sometime
Am
We'll share a rusty can of corn
F G
And listen to the radio
E G
I love you, I love you, it says...
Am Dm
Where did your heart go
G Am
Did you put it on a train
F G
Did you leave it in the rain
E G
Or down in Mexico (2x)
Am
You cry, but I don't know
E Am
I've heard it all before
E Am
There it goes again, the slamming of the door
F G
Sometimes the river calls me
Am
And at night it calls my name
F G
Says "put your troubles down beside me"
E G
Things have always been the same
SOLO (as Chorus)
Am
And rock 'n' roll won't teach me
E Am
What the river said that night
I jumped into this beauty
G E
And drifted out of sight...
Chorus
