by: Pat Green and Kirk Zander

Album: Dancehall Dreamer & Here We Go - The Live Album

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 D

Rollin' down the highways, dirt roads and the byways

C D G

Would you like to drive so I would go shotgun

CHORUS

G

We'd go down to the river

D

Where I could 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

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

E

'Cause I took you back without a word to say

D E D E

But I couldn't go on living 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

E

Where I could hold your body close to mine

D E

We'd listen to the rhythm

D E

Of that old water rollin

D E A

You can stay with me until the 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

A-E-D A-E-D
