The Navesink Banks by The Gaslight Anthem. I tabbed this to the track that appears as a
bonus track to the special edition of Handwritten.. (Although I can only find it on
Spotify) the original being on Sink or Swim. A superb song and one of my personal
favourites. I don't think any tab on here has it quite right yet so here is what I believe
is correct.
Tuning: Eb
[Intro]
Am F Am F C G Am x2
"AmAll hope abFandon, Amye who enter Fhere"
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 gottaC keep a good eye on the Gwinding road Amahead
And Cmy first sin was aG young AmericanF girl
And Cmy first sin was aG young AmericanF girl
[Interlude]
Am F Am F C G Am
And I Amspent time 'neath the Ftrestles
With the Ampunks and the dimestore Fsaints
We kept fCaith and a switchblade Gtucked beneath my Fcoat (Baby, just in case)
And I ran with dirty Fangels
AmSlept out in the Frain
We were Cscared and tired and Gbarely seventAmeen
And Cmy first sin was theG fear that made meF old
And Cmy first sin was theG fear that made meF old
[Interlude]
Am F Am F C G Am
And now I Fwalk down by the shipyards
Near the Gplace where I was born
Saying, "COh Maria, if you'da known me Fwhen"
But Amshe only Fsmiles by the lAmight on the Navesink FBanks
Saying, "CListen baby,G I know you Amnow"
Then Amshe steps into the Friver
And AmI just stand by the Fmoon
TChinking 'bout a ghost GI hear at nAmight
And she says, "CYour first sin was aG lie you told yourseFlf.
"And Cyour first sin was aG lie you told.F.. to yourself.
[Outro]
