Down By The River

C                        F
City life was gettin' us down
 G                      C
So we spent the weekend out of town
 Am                         
Pitched the tent on a patch of 
Dm         G           C
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    
Said: come in, the water's fine, 
G           C
down by the river

C             F    G           C
Down by the river, Down by the river
Am                 Dm            
Said: come in, the water's fine, 
G           C
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          
We came across the strangest side 
G           C
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           
I wonder how it died, down by the 
 C
river

C             F    G           C
Down by the river, Down by the river
Am                  Dm        G 
Silver fish lay on it's side, 
           C
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        
Only foolish people go, he said, 
G            C
down by the river

C                     F
Why do willows weep said he
G                       C
Because they're dying gradually
Am                      Dm        
From the waste from the factories,
 G            C
 down by the river

C             F    G           C
Down by the river, Down by the river
Am                 Dm        G  
Why do willows weep said he, 
          C
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  
There'll be a tear in the 
       A            D
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       
Will be a clean white stone 
    A            D
instead, down by the river

C             F    G           C
Down by the river, Down by the river
Bm                       Em      
The banks will soon be black and 
      A           D
dead, down by the rive
