Down By The Riverside

G                                 
I took my baby out and bought her a 
E
ring
D                            
Man, we planned a wedding come 
    C
spring
G                               E
staring right into the eyes of my 
dreams
D                                 C
hand in hand down on one knee

G                     E
Down by the riverside
G                      E
Down by the riverside
G                          E
told me she would be my bride
Continues after the ad
D                  C
Down by the riverside

G                       E
She said yes as I held her tight
D                              C
We made love in the broad daylight
G                         E
now I know why the old folks say
D                                 
get too close and you'll get swept
       C
 away

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
C                           D    
Spring came and turned my baby's 
                   G
head around
C                    D           
rains fell and now I feel like I 
     G
might drown
C                                 
under the weight of this fools 
  D       G
crown

G                              E
theres a tree down by the riverside
D                        C
once it held it's head up high
G                               E
we carved our vows deep in it's side
D                                 
now faithless love makes that 
           C
willow cry......
