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