[A]
[E] [C#m] You [G#m] [B]
[E] told me tales of love and glory Same old [A] sad song, same old [E] story
Siren sing, nor the lullaby And no one knows but [B] Nora [E] Lye
Castles and all fairy tales [A] Tender shiver once they're [E] sailed
The lovesick men who cobbler I [G#m] And no one knew but [B] Nora Lye
[F#m] River, river have mercy [E]
[B] Take me down to the sea
[F#m] Lord if I perish on [E] these rocks [B] My love no more I seek
[E]
I've thought of you in far off places [A] Puzzled over lipstick [E] traces
Tell me what we got, [C#m] I will not try [G#m] And then I think [B] of Nora Lye
[E] I travel far and wonder why No [A] foreground I'll hear
They [E] say the old man [C#m] rivers are so shy [G#m] And he [B] remembers Nora Lye
[F#] River, river have mercy Take [B] me down to the sea
Lord [F#] if I perish on these rocks [B] My love no more I seek
[E]
If I should float upon this stream [A] And see you in my madman's dream
[E]
I'd sing it to [C#m] your troubled eyes And no [G#m] one [B] knows but Nora Lye
[F#m] River, river have mercy Take me [B] down to the sea
Lord [F#m] if I perish on these rocks [B] My love no more I [E] seek
I've left my ship which sails to nowhere To touch against these rocks
My sorrow in silence drowns Before I die, this here [B] I see
Young Nora Lye
