Verse 1:

     A
It�s just gone noon
     Gm
Half past monsoon
       A                  Gm
On the banks of the river nile
     A
Here comes the boat
     Gm
Only half-afloat
        A                 Gm
Oarsman grins a toothless smile
     A
Only just one more
        Gm
To this desolate shore
     A                    Gm
Last boat along the river nile
        A
Doesn�t seem to care
        Gm
No more wind in his hair
      A                     Gm
As he reaches his last half mile
        Dm
The oar snaps in his hand
          Fm
Before he reaches dry land
        Dm                       Bb7
But the sound doesn�t deafen his smile
     Dm
Just pokes at wet sand
        Fm
With an oar in his hand
       Dm                 C
Floats off down the river nile
                    B     A7   Bb  B  C
Floats off down the river nile
