Ribbon Tab uke di Billie Marten

Intro:

Db B

F#m                      B
Ribbon of the river by my side
                             F#     Bm B
I walk the shore and watch it unwind
    F#                                           B
The railway tracks still leave a glimpse of the light
                                    F#m     Bm
From the train, trailing sparks of gold behind


   F#m                Dbm            B
And as soon as you've seen it, it's gone
   D               Dbm        F#m A    B
And as soon as you've seen it it's gone


D               F#m
Secrets of the city
D                 A
Make an aching in my heart
D                  F#m
And the mysteries that tease me so
   D                    Dbm     A       B
I long to belong but I always have to go


F#m                             B
People stare and wonder why I stray
                                 F#m      B
They don't understand that wandering's my way
    F#                                    B
I'll never stop, though time's slipping away
                                  F#m  B 
The elusive light, shining strange on my face


D                   Dbm            B
And as soon as you've seen it, it's gone
D                   Dbm            B
And as soon as you've seen it, it's gone


D                 F#m
Secrets of the city
D                     A
Make an aching in my heart
D                       F#m
And the mysteries that tease me so
                   A              E     B
I long to belong, but I always have to go


     D                E      Bm
Hope ties me up with discontent
     D         Dbm     Bm
Since the day I first went
F#m           Dbm     Bm
Yearning to be back again
D          E          Bm
How will I return, and when?


D               F#m
Secrets of the city
D                  A 
Make an aching in heart 
D                      F#m
And the mysteries that tease me so
             D            Dbm     E     B
I long to belong but I always have to go
