Verse 1:
Am                    Em 
 Once I saw the river clean 
                         Am 
Distant future, wait for me 
                       Em 
I grow pleasing to the eye 
        Dsus4                Am 
And the queue will queue for me 
                     Em 
Once I saw the river clean 
                               Am 
Soon the clock will strike for me 
                    Em 
Childish mind anticipates 
         Dsus4 
Grown-up mind consummates

Verse 2:
A         Em             G 
 I walked with my grandmother 
       D                 A 
Down a windblown Chester Road 
         Em            G 
With her fifty-two new pence 
        D             A 
For her twenty number-tens 
       Em               G 
And my forty-five pence too 
        D       A 
Demand 'Metal Guru' 
          Em               G 
Once with hearts securely stacked 
        D 
Then we walked all the way back

Verse 3:
Am                       Em 
 I walked with my grandmother 
                          Am 
Along the groan of Talbot Road 
                      Em 
In the gardens by the graves 
      Dsus4        Am 
I can just about behave 
                 Em 
Arrogant and paranoid 
                        Am 
All around, see fathead youth 
                       Em 
Look into their brutal eyes 
         Dsus4 
But only if you want the truth

Verse 4:
A       Em            G 
 Once I saw the river clean 
           D              A 
Scratching up the latest scheme 
          Em                 G 
Time will come but it hasn't yet 
          D 
Someone's out to get me 
A         Em             G 
 I walked with my grandmother 
           D                 A 
Cornbrook Street, where incomplete 
          Em            G 
She would never be again 
         D 
A Dublin dancer, free and young
