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