Verse 1:
It's [A]just gone noon,
Half [Gm]past monsoon,
On the [A]banks of,
The river [Gm]Nile.
Here [A]comes the boat,
Only [Gm]half-afloat,
Oarsman [A]grins a,
Toothless [Gm]smile.
Only [A]just one more,
To this [Gm]desolate shore,
Last [A]boat along,
The river [Gm]Nile.
Doesn't [A]seem to care,
No more [Gm]wind in his hair,
As he [A]reaches his,
Last half [Gm]mile.
The oar [Dm]snaps in his hand,
Before he [Fm]reaches dry land,
But the [Dm]sound doesn't,
Deafen his [Bb7]smile.
Just [Dm]pokes at wet sand,
With an [Fm]oar in his hand,
Floats [Dm]off down the River [C]Nile,
Floats off down the [B]River [A7]Nile.[Bb] [B] [C]
