Chorus

G5       C9             Dsus4 G5
Ten long nights on the River Styx
  G/E    G/E    C9  C9
I waited for my girl
G5                C9          Dsus4 Em7
Just to hear her voice but I never did
      C9      G/F#    G5  G5
And I drifted down to Hell
G5    C9      Dsus4    G5
Every night i wait for her
       G/E      G/E    C9   C9
On the far side of the shore
G5           C9           Dsus4       Em7
Little did i know she was waiting for me
      C9   G/F#     G5  G5
While I waited for her

Verse 1

  G5           C9              Dsus4        G5
I drifted in a bucket that I found on the shore
        G/E      G/E     C9  C9
But i'm sure was not man made
    G5            C9            Dsus4   Em7
And in my fist a locket of the girl I adore
         C9    G/F#    G5   G5
That had laid upon her grave

     G5        C9          Dsus4   G5
Now some might say it was all my fault
     G/E G/E       C9   C9
That I deserved it all
    G5      C9           Dsus4 Em7
For I'd sat smoking in a paper boat
        C9       G/F#    G5   G5
And I'd burnt it full of holes

Chorus

    G5       C9      Dsus4 G5
Now ten long nights on the River Styx
  G/E    G/E    C9  C9
I waited for my girl
G5                C9          Dsus4 Emin7
Just to hear her voice but i never did
      C9      G/F#    G5  G5
And I drifted down to Hell

Verse 2

     G5    C9            Dsus4      G5
Well I got talking to a two-headed dog
    G/E    G/E    C9  C9
And it all became clear
     G5               C9        Dsus4       Em7
They said they saw a girl lost walking the shore
        C9   G/F#   G5  G5
But she ran away in fear

   G5    C9       Dsus4    G5
So every night I wait for her
       G/E       G/E    C9   C9
On the dark side of the shore
    G5           C9           Dsus4       Em7
But little did I know she was waiting for me
      C9   G/F#    G5
While I waited for her

Chorus

G5       C9             Dsus4 G5
Ten long nights on the River Styx
  G/E    G/E    C9  C9
I waited for my girl
G5                C9          Dsus4 Em7
Just to hear her voice but I never did
      C9      G/F#    G5
And I drifted down to Hell
