Verse 1
CDG
I once saw a girl who had a heart so blue,

And she smoked and drank about as much as you.
C D Em* D C
And I was hoping baby I'd get us home,
CDGF#
Whilst the night's still young under this wind and moon.
Pre-Chorus
EmCG
I keep thinking about the way we once were,
GF#mEm
I keep thinking about his fingers running through your hair.
CD
What goes on in the room when I'm not there.

I'll meet you in the river down below.
Verse 2
C D G *guitar riff
I once saw a girl who looked a lot like you,

And all I wanted baby was to hold you

Before the stranger comes under this wind and moon.

Chorus/Outro (Triplet feel and the last chorus has no guitar for the "down below" section.
The part after has single off beat hits. I tried to label where they would fall if sung.
