The Navesink Banks Chords
Capo 4th Fret
Em C Em C
"All hope abandon, ye who enter here"
G D Em
Said the sign I read that was hanging above her bed
C
And the siren's all willing
Em C
But a man can't ignore the signs
G D Em
You gotta keep a good eye on the winding road ahead
G D C
And my first sin was a young American girl

Em C
And I spent time 'neath the trestles
Em C
With the punks and the dimestore saints
G D Em
We kept faith and a switchblade tucked beneath my coat
C
And I ran with dirty angels
Em C
Slept out in the rain
G D Em
We were scared and tired and barely seventeen
G D C
And my first sin was the fear that made me old
G D C
And my first sin was the fear that made me old
Interlude: Em,C,Em,C,G,D,Em
C
And now I walk down by the shipyards
D
Near the place where I was born
G C
Saying, "Oh Maria, if you'da known me when"
Em C Em C
But she only smiles by the light on the Navesink Banks
G D Em
Saying, "Listen baby, I know you now"
Em C
Then she steps into the river
Em C
And I just stand by the moon
G D Em
Thinking 'bout a ghost I hear at night
G D C
And she says, "Your first sin was a lie you told yourself.
G D C
"And your first sin was a lie you told yourself.
