[Verse 1]
D
Somewhere over the Rhine
  Bm
I saw her passing the time
       D                   Bm
Picking blackberries on the vine

[Verse 2]
D
And from the top of that hill
        Bm
I could see the city lights standing still
      D                            Bm
Where all her blackberry blood was spilled

[Chorus 1]
         Em
Into the river
Em7    A
Out to the sea
           Em7                Asus4 A
Her heart delivered the poison to me
D       Bm

[Verse 3]
D
Hours pass by the chime
  Bm
Cathedrals keep us in line
       D                              Bm
For the altar where her blood runs red wine

[Verse 4]
D                                 Bm
Jesus was getting his fill at the party
          Bm
Girls and God's will
         D                    Bm
Throwing all of Simon's dollar bills

[Chorus 2]
        Em           Asus4 A
Into the river,  up on the cross
A7           Em7             Asus4 A
Take from the giver, count it all lost

[Verse 5]
D
My brother having one last beer
        Bm
And then driving a car just like everyone feared
         D                                        Bm
When the tire hit the curb and in the rearview the guardrail disappeared

[Chorus 3]
         Em
Into the river
        A
Deep in the Rhine
          Em
Oh how he shivered
              A
The day that he died
