Chord transcription by Ola Rinta-Koski 21-Feb-96
A E Bm7
That token drag on your cigarette,
A E Bm7
that well-known face in the fire,
A E Bm7
it could be someone you can't forget,
A E Bm7
someone you've learnt to admire.
A E
And it's strange
Bm7 A E Bm7
how the feeling goes;
A E
all change -
Bm7 A E Bm7
down the river Ophelia goes.
You're treading water, the price is steep,
you say you'll cope with it all;
you've made some promises you can't keep,
you throw yourself against the wall,
you throw yourself against the wall.
And it's strange...
You heard a noise in the firegrate,
you look to see who goes there -
it's just the stranger, he's come too late
and even he's unprepared
to find the cupboard so bare
And it's strange...
down the river Ophelia goes.
