 Down By The River            (Albert Hammond - 1972)
 C                        F                                  
 City life was gettin' us down
  G                      C                                   
 So we spent the weekend out of town
  Am                         Dm                              
 Pitched the tent on a patch of ground
 G           C                                               
 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                                             
 Down by the river
 G           C                                               
 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                                          
 I wonder how it died
 G            C                                              
 Down by the river
 
 C           F                                               
 Down by the river
 G            C                                              
 Down by the river
 Am                  Dm                                      
 Silver fish lay on it's side
 G            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                                               
 Down by the river
 G           C                                               
 Down by the river
 Am                 Dm                                       
 Why do willows weep said he
 G            C                                              
 Down by the river
                                                             
 D                        G                                  
 In time the river banks will die
 A                            D                              
 The region wilt and the dogs will fly
 Hm                        Em                                
 There'll be a tear in the otter's eye
 A            D                                              
 Down by the river
  D                           G                              
 The banks will soon be black and dead
 A                            D                              
 And where the otter's raised his head
 Hm                      Em                                  
 Will be a clean white stone instead
 A            D                                              
 Down by the river
 
 D            G                                              
 Down by the river
 A            D                                              
 Down by the river
 Hm                       Em                                 
 The banks will soon be black and dead
  A           D                                              
 Down by the river
