G            Bm          G    D
Went down to the banks of the A  river
Em            G          D
Had to hop a chain link fence
    G     Bm          G    D
Concrete walls on the A  river
Em             G          D
Water lapping up on the cement

       D       C      G
Oh but I love my new home
               D       C
Listen to the big city sound
              D    C          G
Watching that A  river roll down
        D             C
By the trains past Chinatown

G         Bm          G            D
Dip my fingers in the warm black water
Em            G      D
Raw red skin on my knees
G        Bm          G    D
Sail my boat down the A  river
Em                G         D
Thought I saw a body in the weeds


       D       C      G
Oh but I love my new home
               D       C
Listen to the big city sound
              D    C          G
Watching that A  river roll down
        D             C
By the trains past Chinatown

Interlude


       D       C      G
Oh but I love my new home
               D       C
Listen to the big city sound
              C    D          G
Watching that A  river roll down
        D             C
By the trains past Chinatown
