The Gaslight Anthem - The navesink banks

&^Amquot;All ho^Fpe aban^Amdon, ye who e^Fnter here" Said the ^Csign I read that was ^Ghanging above her ^Ambed And the siren's all ^Fwilling But a ^Amman can't ignore the ^Fsigns You gotta^C keep a good eye on the ^Gwinding road ^Amahead

And ^Ammy first sin was a ^Cyoung American ^Fgirl And ^Ammy first sin was a ^Cyoung American ^Fgirl

And I ^Amspent time 'neath the ^Ftrestles With the ^Ampunks and the dimestore ^Fsaints We kept f^Caith and a switchblade ^Gtucked beneath my ^Amcoat And I ran with dirty ^Fangels ^AmSlept out in the ^Frain We were ^Cscared and tired and ^Gbarely sevent^Ameen

And ^Ammy first sin was the ^Cfear that made me ^Fold And ^Ammy first sin was the ^Cfear that made me ^Fold

And now I ^Fwalk down by the shipyards Near the ^Gplace where I was born Saying, &^Cquot;Oh Maria, if you'da know^Fn me when" But ^Amshe only ^Fsmiles by the l^Amight on the Navesink ^FBanks Saying, &^Cquot;Listen ^Gbaby, I know^Am you now"

Then ^Amshe steps into the ^Friver And ^AmI just stand by the ^Fmoon T^Chinking 'bout a ghost ^GI hear at n^Amight And she says, &^Amquot;Your first sin w^Cas a lie you told yo^Furself. "^Am;And your first sin w^Cas a lie you t^Fold yourself.
