Poughkeepsie Over the Rhine
I thought I'd go up[G] Poughkeepsie,
look out [C]o'er the Hudson,
and I'd throw [G]my body down on the river.[D]
And I'd know no[G] more sorrow,
I'd fl[C]y like the sparrow
and I'd ride o[G]n the backs of the angels tonight.[D] [G]
I'd ride on t[D]he backs of the angels tonight.[C] [G]
I'd tak[D]e to the sky with all my mig[C]ht.[G]
N[G]o more drowning in my sorrow,
n[G]o more drowning in my fright,[C]
I'd just ride[G] on the backs of the angels tonight.[D] [G]
There are those wh[G]o know sorrow
and those[C] who must borrow
and those [G]whose lot in life is sweet.[D]
Well I'm drunk [G]on self-pity,
scorned all th[C]at's been given me,
I would drink f[G]rom a bottle labeled Sure Defeat.[D] [G]
I'd ride on [D]the backs of the angels tonight[C].[G]
I'd tak[D]e to the sky with all my mig[C]ht.[G]
N[G]o more drowning in my sorrow,
n[G]o more drowning in my fright,[C]
I'd just ride [G]on the backs of the angels tonight.[D] [G]
Then the skies, t[G]hey fell open
and my eyes[C] were opened
to a worl[G]d of hope falling at my feet.[D]
Now I've no mo[G]re or less
than anyone [C]else has,
what I have i[G]s a gift of life I can't r[D]epeat.[G]
So I go [G]up Poughkeepsie,
look out [C]o'er the Hudson
and I cast[G] my worries to the sky.[D]
Now I still [G]know sorrow,
but I can fly l[C]ike the sparrow
'cause I ride [G]on the backs of the angels tonight.[D] [G]
I'd ride on[D] the backs of the angels tonigh[C]t.[G]
I'd tak[D]e to the sky with all my mig[C]ht.[G]
N[G]o more drowning in my sorrow,
n[G]o more drowning in my fright,[C]
I'll just ride[G] on the backs of the angels each nigh[D]t.[G]
