INTRO:
Cm  Bb    Cm  Bb    Cm  Bb    Cm  Bb

VERSE:
      Cm             Eb
I was longing to be wooed
      Ab          Cm
I was ready to be humbled
        Ab                 Cm
by the words that you had written
       Bb            Ab
by the syllables you mumbled
             Cm          Eb
yeah, I was ready in my heart
    Ab             Cm
to have my heart invaded
        Ab              Cm
by the fervour of your passion
       Bb             Ab
yes, I  came to be persuaded

VERSE:
            Cm                Eb
But when I heard your ragged voice
           Ab               Cm
something switched in my perception
       Ab            Cm
and I knew I was the victim
     Bb           Ab
of a beautiful deception
        Cm           Eb
all my once exact beliefs
      Ab                Cm
like tangled threads unravelled 
              Ab              Cm
I walked out, stunned and liberated
 Bb              Ab
and so began my travels

CHORUS:
          Ab            Eb
Keep the river on your right
         Bb              Cm
and the highway at your shoulder
         Ab                  Eb        Bb
and the front line in your sights, pioneer
          Ab          Cm
Keep your eye on the road
 Bb                Cm
remember what you told her
                Ab  Fm     Cm
this is all in code,   my dear

VERSE:
            Cm             Eb
You better get yourself a coat
          Ab            Cm
said the handsome taxi driver
        Ab                Cm
and he sighed like seven bridges
        Bb             Ab
like a natural-born survivor
       Cm             Eb
as we drove into the night
         Ab              Cm
I could feel the forest jangling
         Ab            Cm
all the choices laid before me
           Bb          Ab       Eb
and their consequences dangling

VERSE:
         Cm              Eb
We came upon a stricken ship
     Ab                   Cm
that must have once been splendid
 Ab                Cm
the captain as he died said 
           Bb             Ab
“Boys, our revels now are ended”
           Cm         Eb
I heard a wild holy band
         Ab              Cm
playing jazz that was outrageous,
        Ab                Cm
that recalled the days of rapture
          Bb                         Ab
when our love was still young and contagious

CHORUS:
          Ab            Eb
Keep the river on your right
         Bb              Cm
and the highway at your shoulder
         Ab                  Eb        Bb
and the front line in your sights, pioneer
          Ab          Cm
Keep your eye on the road
 Bb                Cm
remember what you told her
                Ab  Fm     Cm
this is all in code,   my dear

VERSE:
     Cm             Eb
In a dim-lit motel room
         Ab            Cm
two sad lovers were discoursing
        Ab        Cm
on the dignity of exile
         Bb          Ab
and the merits of divorcing
          Cm                Eb
she said “all certainty is gone”
        Ab               Cm
but he leapt up, still denying,
          Ab                Cm
cried “I won’t believe the flame I lit
    Bb          Ab
is dead or even dying”

VERSE:
 Ab      Cm                   Eb
She left him drooling in the dust
          Ab               Cm
and with rucksack packed begun her 
Ab                    Cm
bitter journey to the border
          Bb               Ab
which is where I wooed and won her
         Cm         Eb
she was Aphrodite, Helen, Thetis,
Ab            Cm
Eve among the satyrs
         Ab                Cm
She was Venus in a v-neck sweater
         Bb           Ab
she was all that ever mattered

CHORUS:
          Ab            Eb
Keep the river on your right
         Bb              Cm
and the highway at your shoulder
         Ab                  Eb        Bb
and the front line in your sights, pioneer
          Ab          Cm
Keep your eye on the road
 Bb                Cm
remember what you told her
                Ab  Fm     Cm
this is all in code,   my dear

VERSE:
     Cm               Eb
Like Dean Moriarty’s ghost
           Ab              Cm
I came in quest of secret knowledge
        Ab           Cm
in the winter of my journey
       Bb             Ab
to a crumbling Druid college
         Cm                Eb
there I read the books of lore
     Ab              Cm
and contemplated in seclusion
       Ab             Cm
but I took my leave embittered, 
  Bb                    Ab
still in love with my illusions

VERSE:
Ab      Cm              Eb
In the drizzling Irish rain
      Ab              Cm
as a tender dawn was breaking
      Ab              Cm
in a doorway I stood spellbound by
     Bb                      Ab
the ancient music they were making
           Cm                 Eb
I took my breakfast with the Gods
       Ab             Cm
on a blushing summer morning
        Ab                 Cm
till a wind blew them all away
       Bb            Ab
I had misread every warning

CHORUS:
          Ab            Eb
Keep the river on your right
         Bb              Cm
and the highway at your shoulder
         Ab                  Eb        Bb
and the front line in your sights, pioneer
          Ab          Cm
Keep your eye on the road
 Bb                Cm
remember what you told her
                Ab  Fm     Cm
this is all in code,   my dear

VERSE:
       Cm            Eb
Under cold electric light
   Ab                Cm
I watch the scenes mutating
        Ab                Cm
like an old time frontier ballad
      Bb        Ab
or a carousel rotating
           Cm             Eb
As if in a moment from a film
 Ab                 Cm
with astonishing precision
     Ab              Cm
the camera zooms in close
       Bb               Ab
and a figure comes into vision 

VERSE:
         Cm         Eb
I’m in Tokyo, it’s dawn
         Ab           Cm
and it’s raining hallelujahs
          Ab             Cm
down the bright-lit neon canyons
           Bb             Ab
along the sidewalks of Shibuya
     Cm                Eb
I’m trying to take a stance
     Ab                 Cm
and rise above my contradictions
         Ab                       Cm
but I’m just a bunch of words in pants
     Bb                Ab
and most of those are fiction 

CHORUS:
          Ab            Eb
Keep the river on your right
         Bb              Cm
and the highway at your shoulder
         Ab                  Eb        Bb
and the front line in your sights, pioneer
          Ab          Cm
Keep your eye on the road
 Bb                Cm
remember what you told her
                Ab  Fm     Cm
this is all in code,   my dear

CHORUS:
          Ab            Eb
Keep the river on your right
         Bb              Cm
and the highway at your shoulder
         Ab                  Eb        Bb
and the front line in your sights, pioneer
          Ab          Cm
Keep your eye on the road
 Bb                Cm
remember what you told her
                Ab  Fm     Cm
this is all in code,   my dear
