Intro: Dm / C : G Dm C Bb F Two in the morning bright uptown Dm C Bb - F The river run away in the night Dm C Bb F Little Gypsy mare she's all tied down Dm C Bb - F She put her in the wind and the light (Os mesmos acordes de cima) Yeah, the sailing ship is just held down in chains From the lazy days of sailing She's just lying there silent in pain You lean on the tourist rail Am Dm Dm-C-Bb A mother and her baby in the college of war C In the concrete grave Dm C Bb F You never want to fight against the river law Gm Bb Nobody rules the waves C A7 Dm Yeah, on a night when the lazy wind is wailing Bb C Around the cutting saw Dm C Bb F Single-handed sailor go sailing Gm Bb Singing away in the dark He's up on the bridge on the self-say night A mariner of dried-up land Two in the morning, well there's one green light And the man on the barge is sad She's gonna step away below him Away from things he's done But he just shouts, "Hey man whatcha call this thing?" She could say, "Pride of London" On a night when the lazy wind is wailing Around the cutting saw Yeah, single-handed sailor go sailing Singing away in the dark
