City life was gettin' us down, so we spent the weekend out of town
Am Dm
Pitched the tent on the patch of ground
G C
Down by the river
C F G C
Lit a fire and drank some wine, you put your jeans on the top of mine
Am Dm
Said, come in the water's fine
G C
Down by the river
(Chorus)
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

Didn't feel too good all night, so we took a walk in the morning light
Am Dm
Came across the strangest sight
G C
Down by the river
C F G C
Silver fish lay on its side, it was washed up by the early tide
Am Dm
I wonder how it died
G C
Down by the river
(Chorus)
C F
Down by the river

Down by the river
Am Dm
Silver fish lay on its side

Down by the river

Doctor put us both to bed, he dosed us up and he shook his head
Am Dm
Only foolish people go, he said
G C
Down by the river

Why do willows weep, said he, because they're dying gradually
Am Dm
From the waste, from the factories

Down by the river
(Chorus)

Down by the river

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

In time, the river banks will die, the reeds will wilt and the ducks won't fly
Am Dm
There'll be a tear in the otter's eye
G C
Down by the river
C F G C
The banks will soon be black and dead, and where the otter raised his head
Am Dm
Will be a clean white stone instead
G C
Down by the river
(Chorus)
C F
Down by the river
G C
Down by the river
Am Dm
Will be a clean white stone instead
G C
Down by the river
