[Intro 1]
[Em][C][Em][C][G][D]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]All hope abandon,
[C]ye who[Em] ent[C]er here
[G]Said the sign I read [D]that was
hangin' above her [Em]bed
And the sirens all were wailin',
[C]but[Em] a man can ignore the[C] signs
[G]Gotta keep a good eye [D]on the windin'
road [Em]ahead

[Verse 2]
And my first [G]sin was [D]a young American [C]girl
My first [G]sin was [D]a young American girl
[C][Em][C][Em][C][G][D]

[Verse 3]
[Em]
And I spent time 'neath [C]the trestles
[Em]With the punks and the dime [C]store saints
[G]Kept faith and a [D]switchblade
stuffed beneath my [Em]coat
And I ran with dirty an[C]gels,
slept [Em]out [C]in the rain
[G]We were scared and tired
[D]and barely [Em]17[G]

[Verse 4]
And my first sin was [D]a fear
that made me [C]old
[G]My first sin was [D]a fear that made

[Interlude 1]
me old
[C][Em][C][G][D]
[Em]

[Verse 5]
Now I walk [C]down by the shipyards
[D]Near the place where I was born
Sayin' "O[G]h, Maria,
if you'da known [C]me when"
[Em]But she

[Verse 6]
only [C]smiles
[Em]By the light on the Navesink [C]banks
[G]Sayin' "Listen baby,
[D]I know you[Em] now"

[Verse 7]
Then she [Em]steps into [C]the river
And I just [Em]stand by [C]the moon
[G]Thinkin' 'bout a g[D]host
I hear [Em]at night
And she [G]says "Your first

[Verse 8]
sin was
[D]a lie you told [C]yourself"
[G]"Your first sin was a l[D]ie you[C] told you[Em]rself"

[Outro 1]
