Riverside Lyrics & Tabs by The Sweet Lowdown
Riverside
guitar chords lyrics
Hot night at the riverside,
Bellies full of gin,
We gave it not a moment’s thought
We both jumped in,
We both jumped in.
There was moonlight on the water,
Moonlight on our skin,
We pretended at no modesty as
We both jumped in,
We both jumped in.
There were stars above,
And rocks below,
The water was fast,
Oh, the water was cold,
A’ ho, ho, ho.
The water was fast,
Oh, the water was cold,
A’ ho, ho, ho.
Landing in the water,
I realized my mistake,
For just to make it back to shore,
All my strength would take,
All my strength would take.
Struggling in the current,
I swam hard for the shore,
Cross my heart and hope to die,
Never swam so hard before,
Swam so hard before.
‘Cause the water was fast,
And the water was cold,
It stole my breath and
Shocked my soul
A’ho, ho, ho.
Black wings on the water,
Shadows on the ground,
Calling in the darkness,
Silence all around,
Silence all around.
Calling in the darkness,
‘Till my body started to quake,
How long on the longest night will it take the light to break,
Won’t the daylight break…
These stars above
And rocks below,
As one was lost
And the other cried no,
No, no, no, no.
Oh, no, no
No, no, no, no
Oh, no, no,
His body let go
A’ho, ho, ho
Moonlight on the water,
As two jumped in,
We gave it not a moment’s thought,
We both jumped in,
We both jumped it.
(And) there were stars above,
And rocks below,
As one was lost,
His body let go,
A’ho, ho, ho.
