Intro: G#m, E, G#m, E, B, F#, G#m

 G#m         E      G#m           E
"All hope abandon, ye who enter here"
         B                    F#                 G#m
Said the sign I read that was hanging above her bed
                    E
And the siren's all willing
      G#m                   E
But a man can't ignore the signs
         B                       F#            G#m
You gotta keep a good eye on the winding road ahead
   
    G#m                 B              E
And my first sin was a young G#merican girl
    G#m                 B              E
And my first sin was a young G#merican girl

Interlude: G#m, E, G#m, E, B, F#, G#m

      G#m                    E
And I spent time 'neath the trestles
         G#m                      E
With the punks and the dimestore saints
         B                      F#                 G#m
We kept faith and a switchblade tucked beneath my coat
                     E
And I ran with dirty angels
G#m               E
Slept out in the rain
        B                    F#            G#m
We were scared and tired and barely seventeen

    G#m                   B                 E
And my first sin was the fear that made me old
    G#m                   B                 E
And my first sin was the fear that made me old

Interlude: G#m, E, G#m, E, B, F#, G#m

          E
And now I walk down by the shipyards
         F#
Near the place where I was born
         B                            E
Saying, "Oh Maria, if you'da known me when"
    G#m       E              G#m                   E   
But she only smiles by the light on the Navesink Banks
         B           F#           G#m
Saying, "Listen baby, I know you now"

     G#m                 E
Then she steps into the river
    G#m                  E
And I just stand by the moon
 B                     F#          G#m
Thinking 'bout a ghost I hear at night
               G#m                   B                   E
And she says, "Your first sin was a lie you told yourself.
     G#m                   B             E
"And your first sin was a lie you told yourself.
