City life was gettin' us down
G C So we spent the weekend out of town
Am DmPitched the tent on a patch of ground
- G C
Down by the river
C F Little fire and drank some wine
G CYou put your jeans on top of mine
- Am Dm
Said: come in, the water's fine
G C Down by the river
C FDown by the river
G CDown by the river
- Am Dm
Said: come in, the water's fine
G C Down by the river
C FDidn't feel too good all night
G CSo we took a walk in the mornin' light
- Am Dm
We came across the strangest side
G C Down by the river
C FSilver fish lay on it's side
- G C
It was washed up by the early tide
Am Dm I wonder how it died
G CDown by the river
C FDown by the river
- G C
Down by the river
Am Dm Silver fish lay on it's side
G CDown by the river
C FDoctor 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 CDown by the river
- C F
Why do willows weep said he
G C Because they're dying gradually
Am DmFrom the waste from the factories
- G C
Down by the river
- C F
Down by the river
G C Down by the river
Am DmWhy 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 DAnd where the otter's raised his head
Hm Em
Will be a clean white stone instead
A DDown by the river
D GDown by the river
A DDown by the river
Hm Em
The banks will soon be black and dead
A DDown by the river
The original song is written in Bb,
