[Am][G]

[Verse 1]
[Am]I knew you well,
I know you [G]best
A baby mouth, denied the breast
[Am]A lazy bone, an eagle [G]eye
Circling the city higher than the sky
And [Am]it's looking like you
better do what they say
[G]Those monkeys uptown,
they told you not to fuck around
[Am]Heaven's a [G]name and
the [Am]river [G]is brown
With all the mud and the rain
It never settles [Am]down[G]
It never settles down
[Am][G]

[Verse 2]
Your [Am]baby [G]left you [Am]unimp[G]ressed
But no one likes a beggar
slightly overdressed
And [Am]trouble comes in [G]funky clothes
You can always find a
razor lying in the road
And it's look[Am]ing like you
better do what they say
[G]Those monkeys uptown,
they told you not to fuck around
Heaven's [Am]a nam[G]e and
the [Am]river [G]is brown
With all the mud and the rain
It never settles [Am]down[G]

[Interlude 1]
It never settles down

[Verse 3]
[G]I knew[Am][G]
[Am]you well,
I know you best
Every[G]body owes something
to everybody else
[Am]Gabriel gave me some
news to give to you
Never [G]take him for granted,
you've nothing better to do
And it's look[Am]ing like you
[G]better [Am]do what t[G]hey say
Those monkeys uptown,
they told you not to fuck around
[Am]Heaven's a [G]name and the [Am]river is brown
[G]With all the mud and the rain
It never settles [Am]down[G]
