B C# F#
I once saw a girl who had a heart so blue
B C# F#
And she smoked and drank about as much as you
B C# D#m C# B
And I was hoping, baby, we'd get out so-oo-oon
B C# F#
While the night's still young under this waning moon
[Pre-Chorus]
F# Fm D#m B
And I can't think about the way we once were
F# F# Fm D#m
I can't think about his fingers running through your hair
B C#
Or what goes on in my room when I'm not there
[Chorus]
N.B B F# G#m B F#
Down belooow, I'll meet you in the river down below

[Verse 2]
B C# F#
I once saw a girl who looked a lot like you
B C# F#
Her hair was storm cloud black, her eyes were raindrop blue
B C# D#m C# B
And all I wanted, baby, was to hold yo-oo-ou
B C# F#
Before the Stranger comes under this waning moon
[Chorus]
N.B B F# G#m B F#
Down belooow, I'll meet you in the river down below
F# Fm B F# G#m B F#
Down be-looow, I'll meet you in the river down below
Let me take you down
