  [C]City life was gettin' us [F]down

  S[G]o we spent the weekend [C]out of town

  P[Am]itched the tent on a patch [Dm]of ground

  [G]Down by the [C]river

  [C]Little fire and drank some [F]wine

  [G]You put your jeans on top [C]of mine

  [Am]Said: come in, the water's [Dm]fine

  [G]Down by the r[C]iver

  

  [C]Down by the ri[F]ver

  [G]Down by the [C]river

  [Am]Said: come in, the [Dm]water's fine

  [G]Down by the r[C]iver

  

  [C]Didn't feel too good all [F]night

  [G]So we took a walk in the m[C]ornin' light

  [Am]We came across the str[Dm]angest side

  D[G]own by the [C]river

  [C]Silver fish lay on it's [F]side

  I[G]t was washed up by the[C] early tide

  I[Am] wonder how it [Dm]died

  [G]Down by the r[C]iver

  

  [C]Down by the [F]river

  [G]Down by the r[C]iver

  [Am]Silver fish lay on i[Dm]t's side

  [G]Down by the r[C]iver

  

  [C]Doctor put us both to [F]bed

  [G]He dosed us up and he shook [C]his head

  O[Am]nly foolish people go,[Dm] he said

  [G]Down by the r[C]iver

  [C]Why do willows weep sa[F]id he

  [G]Because they're dying gr[C]adually

  [Am]>From the waste from the[Dm] factories

  [G]Down by the [C]river

  

  [C]Down by the [F]river

  [G]Down by the [C]river

  [Am]Why do willows weep[Dm] said he

  [G]Down by the r[C]iver

                                                              

  [D]In time the river banks w[G]ill die

  [A]The region wilt and the dogs [D]will fly

  [Hm]There'll be a tear in the [Em]otter's eye

  [A]Down by the r[D]iver

  T[D]he banks will soon be black [G]and dead

  [A]And where the otter's raised [D]his head

  [Hm]Will be a clean white st[Em]one instead

  [A]Down by the r[D]iver

  

  [D]Down by the r[G]iver

  [A]Down by the r[D]iver

  [Hm]The banks will soon be bl[Em]ack and dead

  D[A]own by the r[D]iver
