Chord/Tab song: A Night on the River

Words & Music by Chris de Burgh

N[G]aked and frozen at the side of a lake,
I[Am] think I've gone and made my b[D]ig mistake,
[G]I took her swimming, [Em]we had a fight,
Now my cl[Am]othes and the lady are well o[D]ut of sight,
And it l[C]ooks like I'm h[D]eading for a n[G]ight [D/F#]on__ the r[Em]iver,[Em/D]
[C]Under the [D]moon and the star[Em]s,
[C]Looks like I'm he[D]ading for a n[G]ight o[D/F#]n__ the riv[Em]er,
(Just) [C]me and my b[G/B]eating heart[Am], singing i[D]n the dark.[G]

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;

Oh,----------------------------------------------------------

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

Ooh, [C]I think I'm h[D]eading for a n[G]ight on[D/F#]__ the ri[Em]ver,
[C]Under the m[D]oon and the star[Em]s,
[C]Could be I'm h[D]eading for a n[G]ight o[D/F#]n__ the riv[Em]er,
But [C]I see the [G/B]lights of a car, s[Am]hining in[D] the dar[G]k,

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...
