i came down from the mountains

at the first sight of the moon

i went into the village

and i walked from room to room, singing

Chorus:

we can float this boat down the river styx (all together)
Bm

Arya, Arya,

we can float this boat down the river styx (all together)

i found her sleeping softly
the moonlight on her lips
i lay down close beside her
and i gave her my cold kiss
i said

Chorus:
Arya, Arya,
we can float this boat down the river styx
Arya, Arya,
we can float this boat down the river styx

Em F#7
friends we'll never meet

the light we'll leave behind

i stayed there with her body
til she felt as cold as i
i woke her with a smile
and i pointed to the night

Arya, Arya,
we can float this boat down the river styx

Arya, Arya,
we can float this boat down the river styx

Arya, Arya,
we can float this boat down the river styx
