Down By The River - Albert Hammond (1972)
[Verse 1]
C# F#
City life was gettin' us down
G# C#
So we spent the weekend out of town
A#m D#m
Pitched the tent on a patch of ground
G# C#
Down by the river
C# F#
Lit a fire and drank some wine
G# C#
You put your jeans on top of mine
A#m D#m
Said: Come in, the water's fine
G# C#
Down by the river
[Chorus]
C# F#
Down by the river
G# C#
Down by the river
A#m D#m
Said: come in, the water's fine
G# C#
Down by the river
[Verse 2]
C# F#
Didn't feel too good all night
G# C#
So we took a walk in the mornin' light
A#m D#m
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
A#m D#m
I wonder how it died
G# C#
Down by the river
[Chorus]
C# F#
Down by the river
G# C#
Down by the river
A#m D#m
Silver fish lay on it's side
G# C#
Down by the river
[Verse 3]
C# F#
Doctor put us both to bed
G# C#
He dosed us up and he shook his head
A#m D#m
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
A#m D#m
From the waste from the factories
G# C#
Down by the river
[Chorus]
C# F#
Down by the river
G# C#
Down by the river
A#m D#m
Why do willows weep said he
G# C#
Down by the river
(Key change)
[Verse 4]
D# G#
In time the river banks will die
A# D#
The reeds will wilt and the ducks won't fly
Hm Fm
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 Fm
Will be a clean white skull instead
A# D#
Down by the river
[Chorus]
D# G#
Down by the river
A# D#
Down by the river
Hm Fm
The banks will soon be black and dead
A# D#
Down by the river
The original song is written in Bb,
and will change to C; that means:
C# = Cb
F# = Fb
G# = F#
A#m = G#m
D#m = C#m
The text is taken from C#D by ear "Albert Hammond, The very best of Albert Hammond"
