Verse 1
C
Bbm
It's just gone noon, half past monsoon
C
Bbm
On the banks of the river Nile
C
Bbm
Here comes the boat, only half-afloat
C
Bbm
Oarsman grins a toothless smile
C
Bbm
Only just one more to this desolate shore
C
Bbm
Last boat along the river Nile
C
Bbm
Doesn't seem to care, no more wind in his hair
C
Bbm
As he reaches his last half mile
Bridge 1
Fm
The oar snaps in his hand
Abm
before he reaches dry land
Fm
Db7
But the sound doesn't dampen his smile
Fm
Abm
Just pokes at wet sand with an oar in his hand
Fm
Eb
Floats off down the river Nile
