Nifkin's Bridge by The Bluetones

-----------------

Tabbed by Frederic Maquet

B-side from the single "Marblehead Johnson". This is a rather nice

acoustic number which goes more+more electric as the song goes.

In this town where people can be ignorant and cruel

Truth has no rhyme, it has no reason

Coz it's mooooooooooo- ving awaaaaay from you

'Cos it's moving away from you

'Cos it's moving away

Verse 2: (same progression as verse1)

--------

It's strange the way the years have left no mark on you

But stolen all the fight within you

Where is the child that was to teach us how to fly

Now her dream cannot begin to

Chorus 2:(same as chorus 1)

---------

Is she moving away from you?

Is she moving away?

Verse 3: (same as verse 1)

--------

A thousand nameless roads have taken me away

Miles of fallen rain behind me

And though you know I'm just a phone number away

I wonder if you'll ever find me

Chorus 3: (same progression as chorus 1)

---------

'Cos I'm moving away from you

I am moving away

'Cos I'm moving away from you

I am moving away

End Riff: (distorted electric:)
