     C                    A#m

It's just gone noon, half past Monsoon,

       C                  A#m

On the banks of The River Nile.

     C                    A#m

Here comes the boat, only half-afloat,

        C                 A#m

Oarsman grins a toothless smile.

 

     C                      A#m

Only just one more, to this desolate shore,

     C                    A#m

Last boat along The River Nile.

        C                     A#m

Doesn't seem to care; no more wind in his hair,

      C                     A#m

As he reaches his last half mile.

 

        Fm                           C#7

The oar snaps in his hand, before he reaches dry land,

        Fm                       C#7

But the sound doesn't deafen his smile.

     Fm                         C#7

Just pokes at wet sand, with an oar in his hand;

       Fm                 D#

Floats off down the River Nile,

                    D     C7   C#  D  D#  E

Floats off down the River Nile.
