Verse 1:
It's [C]just gone noon, half [Bbm]past Monsoon,
On the [C]banks of The River [Bbm]Nile.
Here [C]comes the boat, only [Bbm]half-afloat,
Oarsman [C]grins a toothless [Bbm]smile.
Only [C]just one more, to this [Bbm]desolate shore,
Last [C]boat along The River [Bbm]Nile.
Doesn't [C]seem to care; no more [Bbm]wind in his hair,
As he [C]reaches his last half [Bbm]mile.
The oar [Fm]snaps in his hand, before he [C#7]reaches dry land,
But the [Fm]sound doesn't deafen his [C#7]smile.
Just [Fm]pokes at wet sand, with an [C#7]oar in his hand;
Floats [Fm]off down the River [Eb]Nile,
Floats off down the [D]River [C7]Nile.[C#] [D] [Eb] [E]
