Matamoras Banks - Bruce Springsteen
Tabbed from DVD – CAPO 2 I think. Dropped D.
D A D
For two days, the river keeps you down
A D
And you rise to the light without a sound
A D
Past the playgrounds and empty switching yards
A D
The turtles eat the skin from your eyes so they lay open to the stars
A D
Your clothes give way to the current and river stone
A D
Til every trace of who you ever were is gone
A D
And the things of the earth they make their claim
A D
That the things of heaven may do the same
G D
Bye my darling, for your love I give God thanks
D A
Meet me on the Matamoras
D G
Meet me on the Matamoras
D A D
Meet me on the Matamoras banks
A D
Over rivers of stone and ancient ocean beds
A A
I walk on [twine and tiny tread]
A D
My pockets full of dust, my mouth filled with cool stone
A D
A pale moon opens the earth to its bones
G D
I long my darlin' for your kiss
A D
For your sweet love, I give God thanks
G D
A touch of your loving fingertips
D A
Meet me on the Matamoras
D G
Meet me on the Matamoras
D A D
Meet me on the Matamoras banks
A D
Your sweet memory comes on the evening wind
A D
I sleep and dream of holding you in my arms again
A D
The lights of Brownsville across the river shine
A D
A shot rings out, into the silty red river I dive
G D
I long my darlin' for your kiss
A D
For your sweet love, I give God thanks
G D
A touch of your loving fingertips
D A
Meet me on the Matamoras
D G
Meet me on the Matamoras
D A D
Meet me on the Matamoras banks
D A G
