Intro 1
(G major) (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major)
Verse 1
(C major) Head
straight (G major) from school,
bound (C major) to the (G major) pool hall
Shoot games of 8 -ball, play the machines (D major)
Go cruisin' (G major) on weekends
in a (C major) patched up old (G major) Plymouth
Chippin' for gas, the fun (D major) was all free (G major)
And the (C major) river,
it runs through the (G major) heart of our town
We swore we'd all follow
it down to the sea (D major)
Life (G major) was so simple,
each (C major) day was ma (G major) gic
Scooter and Michael and (D major) Danny and
(G major) me (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major) (C major)
Rank (G major) our first year down
(C major) by the (G major) river
Tellin' lies about girls
and the things that we'd (D major) done
Foot (G major) ball and fistfights,
four (C major) birds of a feather
(G major) One for all and (D major) all were for one (G major)
Then the (C major) river,
it wound through the (G major) heart of our town
We swore we'd all follow
it down to the sea (D major)
Life (G major) was so simple,
each (C major) day was ma (G major) gic
Scooter and Mike, Danny (D major) and me (G major) (C major) (G major)
We were (E minor) captured in time,
one bright (B minor) summer's day
That black (C major) -and -white photograph's
all that remains (G major)
Days (E minor) turn to years, boys (B minor) turn to men
And the past (C major) is a place you can't
go to again (D major) (B minor) (D major)
Scoot (G major) er is gone,
he died (C major) in a car (G major) crash
Michael's in business, too busy for me
(D major) Danny's (G major) a lifer
somewhere (C major) in the army (G major)
And I'm here where I never
dreamed (D major) I would be (G major)
And the (C major) river it wound through the (G major) hard,
hard town
We swore we'd all follow
it down to the sea (D major)
Life (G major) was so simple,
each (C major) day was ma (G major) gic
Scooter and Michael,
Danny (D major) and me (G major) (C major) (G major) (D major) (G major) (D major) (G major) (C major)
You (D major)
