The Gaslight Anthem - The Navesink Banks chords

Capo 4th Fret



 Em         C      Em           C
"All hope abandon, ye who enter here"
         G                    D                 Em
Said the sign I read that was hanging above her bed
                    C
And the siren's all willing
      Em                   C
But a man can't ignore the signs
         G                       D            Em
You gotta keep a good eye on the winding road ahead
   
    G                 D              C
And my first sin was a young American girl
    G                 D              C
And my first sin was a young American girl

Interlude: Em,C,Em,C,G,D,Em

      Em                    C
And I spent time 'neath the trestles
         Em                      C
With the punks and the dimestore saints
         G                      D                 Em
We kept faith and a switchblade tucked beneath my coat
                     C
And I ran with dirty angels
Em               C
Slept out in the rain
        G                    D            Em
We were scared and tired and barely seventeen

    G                   D                 C
And my first sin was the fear that made me old
    G                   D                 C
And my first sin was the fear that made me old

Interlude: Em,C,Em,C,G,D,Em

          C
And now I walk down by the shipyards
         D
Near the place where I was born
         G                            C
Saying, "Oh Maria, if you'da known me when"
    Em       C              Em                   C   
But she only smiles by the light on the Navesink Banks
         G           D           Em
Saying, "Listen baby, I know you now"

     Em                 C
Then she steps into the river
    Em                  C
And I just stand by the moon
 G                     D          Em
Thinking 'bout a ghost I hear at night
               G                   D                   C
And she says, "Your first sin was a lie you told yourself.
     G                   D             C
"And your first sin was a lie you told yourself.
