Down By The River (Albert Hammond - 1972)


C F
City life was gettin` us down
G C
So we spent the weekend out of town
Am Dm
Pitched the tent on a patch of ground
G C
Down by the river
C F
Little fire and drank some wine
G C
You put your jeans on top of mine
Am Dm
Said: come in, the water`s fine
G C
Down by the river


C F
Down by the river
G C
Down by the river
Am Dm
Said: come in, the water`s fine
G C
Down by the river


C F
Didn`t feel too good all night
G C
So we took a walk in the mornin` light
Am Dm
We came across the strangest side
G C
Down by the river
C F
Silver fish lay on it`s side
G C
It was washed up by the early tide
Am Dm
I wonder how it died
G C
Down by the river

C F
Down by the river
G C
Down by the river
Am Dm
Silver fish lay on it`s side
G C
Down by the river

C F
Doctor put us both to bed
G C
He dosed us up and he shook his head
Am Dm
Only foolish people go, he said
G C
Down by the river
C F
Why do willows weep said he
G C
Because they`re dying gradually
Am Dm
>From the waste from the factories
G C
Down by the river

C F
Down by the river
G C
Down by the river
Am Dm
Why do willows weep said he
G C
Down by the river

D G
In time the river banks will die
A D
The region wilt and the dogs will fly
Hm Em
There`ll be a tear in the otter`s eye
A D
Down by the river
D G
The banks will soon be black and dead
A D
And where the otter`s raised his head
Hm Em
Will be a clean white stone instead
A D
Down by the river

D G
Down by the river
A D
Down by the river
Hm Em
The banks will soon be black and dead
A D
Down by the river

The original song is written in Bb,
and will change to C; that means:

C = Bb
F = Eb
G = F
Am = Gm
Dm = Cm

The text is taken from CD by ear Albert Hammond, The very best of Albert Hammond
