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
Em Am
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
Em Am
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
Em Am
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
Em Am
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
Em Am
I wonder how it died
D G
Down by the river
[Chorus]
G C
Down by the river
D G
Down by the river
Em Am
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
Em Am
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
Em Am
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
Em Am
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
E A
The reeds will wilt and the ducks won't fly
Hm Bm
There'll be a tear in the otter's eye
E A
Down by the river
A D
The banks will soon be black and dead
E A
And where the otter's raised his head
Hm Bm
Will be a clean white skull instead
E A
Down by the river
[Chorus]
A D
Down by the river
E A
Down by the river
Hm Bm
The banks will soon be black and dead
E A
Down by the river
The original song is written in Bb,
and will change to C; that means:
G = F
C = A#
D = C
Em = Dm
Am = Gm
