[Intro]
Am G F C F Dm F Dm G
[Verse]
AmA grief came riding
GOn the wind
FUp the sun on Criver Thames
FI was sittin' on the bank with my Dmmouth open
FWhen I Dmfelt it enteGring G F C G
AmI began thinkin' about our Gwedding day
FAnd how love was a Cvow
FI was thinkin' about the Dmchamber door
FOnly we can Dmenter Gnow G F C G
AmI began thinkin' about our Gancient friends
FAnd of kissin' them Cgoodbye
FAnd then the wind blew under DmBattersea bridge
FAnd a tear broke Dmfrom my Geye G F C G
AmI started thinkin' about GLondon
FAnd nothing good ever Ccame from this town
Fand if the Thames weren't so Dmfilthy
FI would jump in the Dmriver and Gdrown
[Chorus]
GDon't Fbe Ca-Gfraid
GCome on Cdown
I'm just Amsittin' here
And Gthinking (out) Cloud
[Verse]
AmA grief came riding
GOn the wind
FUp the river where the Cbridges crouch
FBlowin' people Dmback and fall
FFrom the marital bed to the Dmpsychiatric Gcouch G F C G
AmBlowin' people Gfar apart
FBlowin' others so Cthey collide
FBlowin' some poor bastard Dmright out of the water
Fblowin' another one Dmover theG side G F C G
AmHear the ancient iron Gbridge
FAnd listen to it Cgroan
Fwith the weight of a thousand Dmpeople
FLeavin' or reDmturning Ghome G F C G
AmTo their failures
GTo their bordems
FTo their husbands
CAnd their wives
Fwho are carving them up for dDminner
Fbefore they Dmeven Garrive
[Chorus]
GDon't Fbe Ca-Gfraid
GCome on Cdown
I'm just Amsittin' here
And Gthinking (out) Cloud
AmAnd look they just blow the Gwater
FSee the saviour of the Chuman race
FWhere the fishes and the Dmfrogs
FHas found his Dmfinal resting Gplace
[Chorus]
GDon't Fbe Ca-Gfraid
GCome on Cdown
I'm just Amsittin' here
And Gthinking (out) Cloud
