I looked ^Gout ac^Emross^D The ^Criver to^Gday, ^Em ^D ^C I saw a c^Gity in the fog and an^Em old church t^Dower Wher^Ce the seagulls ^Gpla^Emy, ^D ^C I saw the s^Gad shire ^Emhorses w^Dalking home ^C In^G the sodium l^Emight^D ^C I saw two ^Gpriests on the ferry O^Emctober ge^Dese on a c^Cold winter's ni^Gght ^Em ^D

And all ^Emthis time, ^D/F# ^Em The ^Ariver flowed ^C Endl^Dessly to the s^Gea. ^Em ^G ^D

( Verses are just G-Em-D-C repeated; Chorus is as above, repeated till end of chorus ) Two priests came round our house tonight One young, one old, to offer prayers for the dying To serve the final rite, One to learn, one to teach, Which way the cold wind blows Fussing and flapping in priestly black Like a murder of crows Chorus: And all this time, the river flowed Endlessly to the sea If I had my way I'd take a boat from the river And I'd bury the old man, I'd bury him at sea Blessed are the poor, for they shall inherit the earth Better to be poor than a fat man in the eye of the needle And as these words were spoken I swear I hear The old man laughing, "What good is a used up world, and how could it be Worth having" Chorus: And all this time the river flowed Endlessly like a silent tear And all this time the river flowed Father, if Jesus exist, Then how come he never lived here. (Now switch key to A - thus this verse is A-F#m-E-D) The teachers told us, the Romans built this place They built a wall and a temple, an edge of the empire Garrison town, They lived and they died, they prayed to their gods But the stone gods did not make a sound And their empire crumbled, 'til all that was left Were the stones the workmen found Chorus:

And all ^F#mthis time ^E ^F#m The ^Briver flowed ^D En^Edlessly to the ^Asea ^F#m ^A If I^F#m had my way ^E ^F#m I'd take a ^Bboat from the riv^Der Men go ^Ecrazy in congregations

But they only get better One by one (repeat A-F#m-E-D progression and fade) One by one One by one by one One by one I looked out across... { Chorus: All this time... } ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | "You see a city in the desert lies | | Luis Ferreira | The vanity of an ancient king | | | But the city lies on broken pieces | | sd021@diana.fc.ul.pt | Where the wind howls and the vultures sing" | | | Sting - The Soul Cages | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
