A Night On The River Chords

(ver. 1)
Chris De Burgh
Words & Music by Chris de Burgh

 G                           
Naked and frozen at the side of a lake,
 Am                            D
I think I've gone and made my big mistake,
G                    Em
I took her swimming, we had a fight,
         Am                           D
Now my clothes and the lady are well out of sight,
        C              D             G    D/F#      Em   Em/D
And it looks like I'm heading for a night on__ the river,
C         D                Em
Under the moon and the stars,
C                D            G     D/F#       Em
Looks like I'm heading for a night on__ the river,
       C          G/B         Am         D          G
(Just) me and my beating heart, singing in the dark.

 Naked and frozen at the side of a lake,
 If she was here I wouldn't hesitate,
 To tell her how, the way things are,
 With a long conversation in the back of a car,

 And it looks like I'm heading for a night on the river,
 Under the moon and the stars,
 Could be I'm heading for a night on the river,
 Just me and my beating heart, singing in the dark;

G - C - G - D - G - C - G - D - C - G - D - Em - C - D - G
Oh,----------------------------------------------------------
B                                  
I think she owes me an explanation,
Em
She's got the whip hand in this situation,
   A                          
If I try to tell her just the way I feel,
        D
It could start the whole thing all over again,

     C            D             G      D/F#     Em
Ooh, I think I'm heading for a night on__ the river,
C          D               Em
Under the moon and the stars,
C             D             G     D/F#       Em
Could be I'm heading for a night on__ the river,
    C         G/B               Am       D       G
But I see the lights of a car, shining in the dark,

Ooh, could be we're heading for a mm-mm,
Under the moon and the stars,
Could be we're heading for a mm-mm
Just you and me and our beating hearts,
We're singing in the dark...
