		Nifkin's Bridge by The Bluetones
				-----------------
				Tabbed by Frederic Maquet


B-side from the single "Marblehead Johnson".  This is a rather nice
acoustic number which goes more+more electric as the song goes.

In this town where people can be ignorant and cruel
And no-one ever seems to listen
Honest words don't know the damage they can do
Truth has no rhyme, it has no reason

Coz it's mooooooooooo-         ving   awaaaaay from you

'Cos it's moving away from you
'Cos it's moving away

Verse 2:  (same progression as verse1)
--------

It's strange the way the years have left no mark on you
But stolen all the fight within you
Where is the child that was to teach us how to fly
Now her dream cannot begin to

Chorus 2:(same as chorus 1)
---------
Is she moving away from you?
Is she moving away?

A thousand nameless roads have taken me away
Miles of fallen rain behind me
And though you know I'm just a phone number away
I wonder if you'll ever find me

'Cos I'm moving away from you
I am moving away
'Cos I'm moving away from you
