 D                                
  River splashes against the rocks
       G         A     
 And I scale the slope,
   G        A             
 I hope the tracks won??t,
 D                                   
  Lead me down to dark black pits or,
 G      A        G       A    
 Places where we fall to bits,
 
 D                                    
  If she were there I??d hold her down
     G        A     G         A       
 I??ll push her under while she drowns
 D                                      
  And couldn??t breathe and claw for air
     G      A        G     A     
 She doesn??t care for my despair
 A           
 Or is it me?
 D              G       
  The one that??s wrong?
                 A     
 (the one that's wrong)
 
 You see it in the sea
       D             G     
 River cools where I belong
 A                 D   G D G A G A 
  In my mersey paradise
 
 D                              
  As I stare an oil wheel comes,
 G       A  G     A        
 Sailing by and I feel like
 D                           
  Growing fins and falling in
          G          A         G     A  
 With the bricks the bikes the rusty tin
      D                        
 I'll swim along without a care
    G      A         G      A    
 I??m eating sand when I need air
 D                                               
  You can bet your life I??ll meet a pike who??ll
 G       A        G     A    
 Wolf me down for tea tonight
 A                       D  
 I want to be (I want to be)
                     G              A   
 Where the drownings are (drownings are)
 A                    
 You see it in the sea
       D             G       
 River cool??s where I belong
 A                     D 
  In my mersey paradise
 
 A                        D  
  I want to be (I want to be)
                     G               A

                     G              A

 River cool??s where I belong
 A                 D
