Chords for Over The Rhine - Poughkeepsie (Studio Version)

_ _ I thought I'd go up a gipsy lookout [Db] over the Hudson
[Ab] And I'd drop my body down off the [Eb] river
_ And [Ab] I'd know no more sorrow while I would fly like a sparrow
And I'd ride on the backs [Eb] of the [Ab] angels tonight _
[Eb] I'd ride on the backs [Fm] of the angels [Ab]
tonight
[Eb] I'd take to the sky with [Ab] _ _ _
_ _ no more drowning in my sorrow
No more drowning in my fright
_ I'd just ride on the backs [Eb] of the [Ab] angels tonight _ _ _
_ _ There are those who know sorrow
And those who must borrow
And those whose love in life [Eb] is sweet
[Ab] While I'm drunk on self-pity
Scorned all that's been given me
I would drink from a bottle [Eb] labeled sure [Ab] defeat
_ [Eb] I'd ride on the backs [Fm] of the angels [Ab] tonight
[Eb] I'd take to the sky [Ab] with all my might
No more drowning in my sorrow
No more drowning in my fright
_ I'd just ride on the backs [Eb] of the angels [Ab] tonight
Then [Fm] _ _ _ [Ab] the skies, they fell open
And my eyes were open to a world of hope
Falling at my [Eb] feet, [Ab] now I'm no more
Or less [Fm] than anyone else has
What [Ab] I had is a gift of [Eb] life I [Ab] can't repeat
So I go up the Gypsy and [Fm] look out over the Hudson
And [Ab] I cast my worries into the [Eb] sky
_ Now [Ab] I still love sorrow
But [Fm] I can fly like the sparrow
Cause [Ab] I'd ride on the backs [Eb] of the angels [Ab] tonight _ _
[Eb] I'd ride on the backs of [Fm] the angels [Ab] tonight
[Eb] I'd take to the sky with [Fm] all my [Ab] _
_ might
No more drowning in my sorrow
No more drowning in [Fm] my fright
[Ab] I'd just ride on the backs [Eb] of the _ angels [Ab] each night
