[Pre-Chorus 1]
Dm           G              C                 F
I've lived upon the edge of chance for twenty years or more
Dm          G                    C   C
And this is what my friends all mean


[Chorus 1]
       Dm         G
By Del Rio's song (Oh, Del Rio)
    Dm         G
Del Rio's Song (Oh, Del Rio)
    Dm          G
Del Rio's Song (Oh, Del Rio)
    Dm          G            Bb
Del Rio's Song (Oh, Del Rio)


[Post-Chorus 1]
               F                C
When time gets slow, and rivers freeze
              G           G
I think you'd know enough


[Verse 1]
   Dm                 G     C
To call in touch that outer frame
    F             G
The inner gain, a sullen gulch
      Am              F                 G     Gsus4 G
Which opens up on the way to Blindman's Bluff
  Dm            G     C
A suburb now of River Roads
      F              G
Where quandry and sublime improve
    Am              F
The sight whose imagery
             G            G
Is sometimes that of fear


[Pre-Chorus 2]
Dm          G               C                 F
I've lived upon the edge of chance for twenty years or more
Dm          G                   C   C
And this is what my friends all mean


[Chorus 2]
       Dm         G
By Del Rio's song (Oh, Del Rio)
    Dm         G
Del Rio's Song (Oh, Del Rio)
    Dm          G
Del Rio's Song (Oh, Del Rio)
    Dm          G            Bb
Del Rio's Song (Oh, Del Rio)



[Post-Chorus 2]
               F                C
When time gets slow, and rivers freeze
              G           G
I think you'd know enough



[Verse 2]
   Dm                G           C
To shut the gates of walled town walls
    F               G              Am
And putting up some good rum punch
           F                 G    Gsus4 G
Forget the way to Blindman's Bluff
   Dm                    G         C
So packed with eyes that glow like coals
    F                    G
And pointing towards the North
       Am               F         G  Gsus4
Oh, my boat left New Orleans in 1829!

[Bridge]
                           G
My destination is a secret
                         D5
And the doctrine is soft
                                 G
And just between the verse and me
                              D5
It's a place where you can see
              G
Lost, last and luminous
                            D5
Scored to sky yet never found relics of jewels
                   G
And ant-track tools
                                  F
A true ghost danc rehearsal ground

F G x8
ooooh
Am


[Pre-Chorus 3]
Dm          G               C                 F

Dm          G                   C   C
And this is what my friends all mean
Dm          G               C                 F
I've lived upon the edge of chance for twenty years or more
Dm          G                   C   C
And this is what my friends all mean
