(Instrumental) A Gm A Gm (x10) Dm Fm Dm Bb7, Dm Fm Dm C B A7 Verse 1:

It's ^Ajust gone noon, Half ^Gmpast monsoon, On the ^Abanks of, The river ^GmNile. Here ^Acomes the boat, Only ^Gmhalf-afloat, Oarsman ^Agrins a, Toothless ^Gmsmile.

Only ^Ajust one more, To this ^Gmdesolate shore, Last ^Aboat along, The river ^GmNile. Doesn't ^Aseem to care, No more ^Gmwind in his hair, As he ^Areaches his, Last half ^Gmmile.

The oar ^Dmsnaps in his hand, Before he ^Fmreaches dry land, But the ^Dmsound doesn't, Deafen his ^Bb7smile. Just ^Dmpokes at wet sand, With an ^Fmoar in his hand, Floats ^Dmoff down the River ^CNile, Floats off down the ^BRiver ^A7Nile. ^Bb ^B ^C
