Down To The River

Capo:  3rd Fret

G (mute)
Take me down to the river

                       D
Where I can hold your body close to 
mine

     C            D
We'd listen to the rhythm

    C                D
Of that old water rollin

       C           D         G
You can stay with me until the 
morning light

G
I found you in a Louisiana roadside 
park

                        D
Beat up, broke down no place left to
 turn

   C            D         C    D
I took you back to Texas under a 
harvest moon

    C                D     G
We found a little place to call our 
own

G
We shared all the hopes and dreams 
of our younger years

                        D
Married at the tender age of 
twenty-one

C              D            C   
Rollin' down the highways, dirt 
        D
roads and the byways

C                  D         G
Would you like to drive so I would 
go shotgun

G
Somewhere through the year somebody 
turned your head

                        D
And has taken my sweet love so far 
from me

       C            D
Yeah he swept you off to Boulder

        C                  D
Where the air it gets much colder

           C         D       G
Than this southern boy would ever 
like to see

G
I think of calling you on lonely 
nights

                    D
When being alone gets the best of me

       C             D
Yeah but this here whiskey bottle

      C       D
Will take me to a place

C          D        G
Where you and I will always be


CHORUS

     A
When you came back home everybody 
said I was a fool

'Cause I took you back without a 
     E
word to say

     D                  E         
But I couldn't go on living 
  D            E
thinkin' about all I was missin'

      D               E         A
And I donÕt give a damn about what 
those people say.


CHORUS

        A
We'd go down to the river

Where I could hold your body close 
   E
to mine

     D           E
We'd listen to the rhythm

    D                E
Of that old water rollin

       D           E         
You can stay with me until the 
  A
morning light

     A
I wanna go down to the river

      A
Take me down to the river

     A
I wanna go down to the river
