Version 1
The Gaslight Anthem - The Navesink Banks
Tuning: Half-step down
[Intro]
Am F Am F C G Am
[Verse 1]
Am F Am F
"All hope abandon, ye who enter here"
C G Am
Said the sign I read that was hanging above her bed
F
And the siren's all willing
Am F
But a man can't ignore the signs
C G Am
You gotta keep a good eye on the winding road ahead
[Chorus]
Am C F
And my first sin was a young American girl
Am C F
And my first sin was a young American girl
[Interlude]
Am F Am F C G Am
[Verse 2]
Am F
And I spent time 'neath the trestles
Am F
With the punks and the dimestore saints
C G Am
We kept faith and a switchblade tucked beneath my coat
F
And I ran with dirty angels
Am F
Slept out in the rain
C G Am
We were scared and tired and barely seventeen
[Chorus]
Am C F
And my first sin was the fear that made me old
Am C F
And my first sin was the fear that made me old
[Interlude]
Am F Am F C G Am
[Verse 3]
F
And now I walk down by the shipyards
G
Near the place where I was born
C F
Saying, "Oh Maria, if you'da known me when"
Am F Am F
But she only smiles by the light on the Navesink Banks
C G Am
Saying, "Listen baby, I know you now"
Am F
Then she steps into the river
Am F
And I just stand by the moon
C G Am
Thinking 'bout a ghost I hear at night
Am C F
And she says, "Your first sin was a lie you told yourself.
Am C F
"And your first sin was a lie you told yourself.
