Down By The River

Tom : C
C F
City life was gettin' us down
G C
So we spent the weekend out of town
Am Dm G C
Pitched the tent on a patch of ground, down by the river
C F
Little fire and drank some wine
G C
You put your jeans on top of mine
Am Dm G C
Said: come in, the water's fine, down by the river
C F G C
Down by the river, Down by the river
Am Dm G C
Said: come in, the water's fine, down by the river,
C F
Didn't feel too good all night
G C
So we took a walk in the mornin' light
Am Dm G C
We came across the strangest side Down by the river
C F
Silver fish lay on it's side
G C
It was washed up by the early tide
Am Dm G C
I wonder how it died, down by the river
C F G C
Down by the river, Down by the river
Am Dm G C
Silver fish lay on it's side, down by the river
C F
Doctor put us both to bed
G C
He dosed us up and he shook his head
Am Dm G C
Only foolish people go, he said, down by the river
C F
Why do willows weep said he
G C
Because they're dying gradually
Am Dm G C
From the waste from the factories, down by the river
C F G C
Down by the river, Down by the river
Am Dm G C
Why do willows weep said he, down by the river
D G
In time the river banks will die
A D
The region wilt and the dogs will fly
Bm Em G A D
There'll be a tear in the otter's eye, down by the river
D
The banks will soon be black and dead
A D
And where the otter's raised his head
Bm Em A D
Will be a clean white stone instead, down by the river
C F G C
Down by the river, Down by the river
Bm Em A D
The banks will soon be black and dead, down by the rive
