Chorus
G5 C9 Dsus4 G5
Ten long nights on the River Styx
G/E G/E C9 C9
I waited for my girl
G5 C9 Dsus4 Em7
Just to hear her voice but I never did
C9 G/F# G5 G5
And I drifted down to Hell
G5 C9 Dsus4 G5
Every night i wait for her
G/E G/E C9 C9
On the far side of the shore
G5 C9 Dsus4 Em7
Little did i know she was waiting for me
C9 G/F# G5 G5
While I waited for her

Verse 1
G5 C9 Dsus4 G5
I drifted in a bucket that I found on the shore
G/E G/E C9 C9
But i'm sure was not man made
G5 C9 Dsus4 Em7
And in my fist a locket of the girl I adore
C9 G/F# G5 G5
That had laid upon her grave
G5 C9 Dsus4 G5
Now some might say it was all my fault
G/E G/E C9 C9
That I deserved it all
G5 C9 Dsus4 Em7
For I'd sat smoking in a paper boat
C9 G/F# G5 G5
And I'd burnt it full of holes
Chorus
G5 C9 Dsus4 G5
Now ten long nights on the River Styx
G/E G/E C9 C9
I waited for my girl
G5 C9 Dsus4 Emin7
Just to hear her voice but i never did
C9 G/F# G5 G5
And I drifted down to Hell

Verse 2
G5 C9 Dsus4 G5
Well I got talking to a two-headed dog
G/E G/E C9 C9
And it all became clear
G5 C9 Dsus4 Em7
They said they saw a girl lost walking the shore
C9 G/F# G5 G5
But she ran away in fear
G5 C9 Dsus4 G5
So every night I wait for her
G/E G/E C9 C9
On the dark side of the shore
G5 C9 Dsus4 Em7
But little did I know she was waiting for me
C9 G/F# G5
While I waited for her
Chorus
G5 C9 Dsus4 G5
Ten long nights on the River Styx
G/E G/E C9 C9
I waited for my girl
G5 C9 Dsus4 Em7
Just to hear her voice but I never did
C9 G/F# G5
And I drifted down to Hell
