Verse 1:

A
It�s just gone noon
Gm
Half past monsoon
A Gm
On the banks of the river nile
A
Here comes the boat
Gm
Only half-afloat
A Gm
Oarsman grins a toothless smile
A
Only just one more
Gm
To this desolate shore
A Gm
Last boat along the river nile
A
Doesn�t seem to care
Gm
No more wind in his hair
A Gm
As he reaches his last half mile
Dm
The oar snaps in his hand
Fm
Before he reaches dry land
Dm Bb7
But the sound doesn�t deafen his smile
Dm
Just pokes at wet sand
Fm
With an oar in his hand
Dm C
Floats off down the river nile
B A7 Bb B C
Floats off down the river nile
