Hammond Albert - Down By The River guitar chord

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
