It's just gone noon, half past Monsoon,

On the banks of The River Nile.

Here comes the boat, only half-afloat,
C Bbm
Oarsman grins a toothless smile.
C Bbm
Only just one more, to this desolate shore,
C Bbm
Last boat along The River Nile.
C Bbm
Doesn't seem to care; no more wind in his hair,
C Bbm
As he reaches his last half mile.
Fm C#7
The oar snaps in his hand, before he reaches dry land,
Fm C#7
But the sound doesn't deafen his smile.

Floats off down the River Nile,

Floats off down the River Nile.
