| Am | Am | Em | Dsus4 |
[Verse 1]
Am Em
Once I saw the river clean
Am
Distant future, wait for me
Em
I grow pleasing to the eye
Dsus4 Am
And the queue will queue for me
Em
Once I saw the river clean
Am
Soon the clock will strike for me
Em
Childish mind anticipates
Dsus4
Grown-up mind consummates
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
A Em G
I walked with my grandmother
D A
Down a windblown Chester Road
Em G
With her fifty-two new pence
D A
For her twenty number-tens
Em G
And my forty-five pence too
D A
Demand "Metal Guru"
Em G
Once with hearts securely stacked
D
Then we walked all the way back
[Instrumental]
| Am | Am | F | F |
[Verse 3]
Am Em
I walked with my grandmother
Am
Along the groan of Talbot Road
Em
In the gardens by the graves
Dsus4 Am
I can just about behave
Em
Arrogant and paranoid
Am
All around, see fathead youth
Em
Look into their brutal eyes
Dsus4
But only if you want the truth

[Verse 4]
A Em G
Once I saw the river clean
D A
Scratching up the latest scheme
Em G
Time will come but it hasn't yet
D
Someone's out to get me
A Em G
I walked with my grandmother
D A
Cornbrook Street, where incomplete
Em G
She would never be again
D
A Dublin dancer, free and young
