The Bridge On The River Severn

G D A Bm G D C#7/A Bm D Bm When I first drank wine with you, we were laughing Bm D C#7 Eucalyptus smile on a Darlington heir Bm D Bm And you told me how you used to chase the dragon D A Bm You told me, as your hands swam through my hair G D C#7 Bm D Bm Well three years come and gone in the window cryin' Bm D C#7 With your silver spoon tucked in your silken sleeve Bm D Bm And how I had to leave the room to stop from cryin' D A Bm Cause I knew that you were on the streets again D A Bm Riding your white horse down Ingulf Street again Bm D G D I held you to my head, you said "Please don't leave me here" A G Bm "Cause, two-thousand pounds might break my bones" D A Bm You cry-ied I couldn't stay. D A Bm I cry-ied, they led you away. G D And then I walked out in the rain A Bm Headed for the hills again D A Bm And the stormy winter froze me to my bones G D C#7 Bm D Bm Well I worked the winter months to raise your bounty Bm D C#7 And I dug the golden mile from end to end Bm D Bm And I worked my passage on the good ship bounty D A Bm Because I heard that you had sailed for Wales again D A Bm Sailing on your tall ships to the motherland again Bm D G D I searched England for you, from the Gwaun Valley to A G Bm The rugged cliffs of Carraroe hid you away G D A Bm Well I rang everyone from Dublin to Birmingham D A Bm Well they said you'd be seen down Bristol way D A Bm I cry-ied I was too late D A Bm Your landlord said I missed you by a day G D And like a manic street preacher A Bm Who fell into the muddy water D A Bm The Bridge on the River Severn took you away G D A Bm G D C#7/A 2x G D A Bm So I drank some wine that day, I left, got under way D A Bm And then I caught the last train for London A Bm
