In the River

 

G                               C                      

There I was punting peacefully down

D7                                G

The river to Oxford on Isis

                  C

My girl friend was lying half a sleep in the boat

D7                         G

Enjoying the ride I suppose

 

 

*They don’t wear straw boaters

C                                                 

They don’t wear straw hats

D                                                                    G

The river is dirty and the boat bottom flat

 

 

The water was calm we had gone quiet a way

 

Under some bridges and beneath trees

 

We’d used the put pole and paddled as well

 

Down through the ever green trees

 

 

We had just turned around and were heading to home

 

Doing quiet nicely I thought

 

When all of a sudden I felt very cold

 

I’d fallen in the river in my best clothes

 

                   C

Up to my nose and in my best clothes

D                               G

Swimming about in the river

 

                   C

Up to my nose and in my best clothes

D                               G

The day I poluted the river
