DO FA
City life was gettin' us down
SOL DO
So we spent the weekend out of town
LAm REm
Pitched the tent on a patch of ground
SOL DO
Down by the river
DO FA
Little fire and drank some wine
SOL DO
You put your jeans on top of mine
LAm REm
Said: come in, the water's fine
SOL DO
Down by the river
DO FA
Down by the river
SOL DO
Down by the river
LAm REm
Said: come in, the water's fine
SOL DO
Down by the river
DO FA
Didn't feel too good all night
SOL DO
So we took a walk in the mornin' light
LAm REm
We came across the strangest side
SOL DO
Down by the river
DO FA
Silver fish lay on it's side
SOL DO
It was washed up by the early tide
LAm REm
I wonder how it died
SOL DO
Down by the river
DO FA
Down by the river
SOL DO
Down by the river
LAm REm
Silver fish lay on it's side
SOL DO
Down by the river
DO FA
Doctor put us both to bed
SOL DO
He dosed us up and he shook his head
LAm REm
Only foolish people go, he said
SOL DO
Down by the river
DO FA
Why do willows weep said he
SOL DO
Because they're dying gradually
LAm REm
From the waste from the factories
SOL DO
Down by the river
DO FA
Down by the river
SOL DO
Down by the river
LAm REm
Why do willows weep said he
SOL DO
Down by the river
RE SOL
In time the river banks will die
LA RE
The region wilt and the dogs will fly
Hm Em
There'll be a tear in the otter's eye
LA RE
Down by the river
RE SOL
The banks will soon be black and dead
LA RE
And where the otter's raised his head
Hm Em
Will be a clean white stone instead
LA RE
Down by the river
RE SOL
Down by the river
LA RE
Down by the river
Hm Em
The banks will soon be black and dead
LA RE
Down by the river
