The Navesink Banks The Gaslight Anthem
Capo 4th Fret
"[Em]All hope ab[C]andon, [Em]ye who enter [C]here"
Said the [G]sign I read that was [D]hanging above her [Em]bed
And the siren's all [C]willing
But a [Em]man can't ignore the [C]signs
You gotta[G] keep a good eye on the [D]winding road [Em]ahead
And [G]my first sin was a[D] young American[C] girl
And [G]my first sin was a[D] young American[C] girl
Interlude: Em,C,Em,C,G,D,Em
And I [Em]spent time 'neath the [C]trestles
With the [Em]punks and the dimestore [C]saints
We kept f[G]aith and a switchblade [D]tucked beneath my [Em]coat
And I ran with dirty [C]angels
[Em]Slept out in the [C]rain
We were [G]scared and tired and [D]barely sevent[Em]een
And [G]my first sin was the[D] fear that made me[C] old
And [G]my first sin was the[D] fear that made me[C] old
Interlude: Em,C,Em,C,G,D,Em
And now I [C]walk down by the shipyards
Near the [D]place where I was born
Saying, "[G]Oh Maria, if you'da known me [C]when"
But [Em]she only [C]smiles by the l[Em]ight on the Navesink [C]Banks
Saying, "[G]Listen baby,[D] I know you [Em]now"
Then [Em]she steps into the [C]river
And [Em]I just stand by the [C]moon
T[G]hinking 'bout a ghost [D]I hear at n[Em]ight
And she says, "[G]Your first sin was a[D] lie you told yourse[C]lf.
"And [G]your first sin was a[D] lie you told [C]yourself.
