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