Down by the River
G C
Do you remember, you took my hand,
D
And we walked out across the fields,
G
Down the lane and over the railway line
Our hearts were racing, our fe[C}et were chasing,
D G
We were looking for a hideaway, getting lost and losing track of time
G C
We went down by the river, we went down by the river
D G
Where the water ran slow, thats where we let our lovin run free.
C
We went down by the river, we went down by the river
D G
Just layin low, my true love and me

G C
You let your long brown hair hang down
D
You saw your dress was swayin in the breeze
G
We were skimmin stones out across the stream
C
You had a lazy style and a carefree smile
D
You were a breathless beauty to behold
G
The sweetest sight my eyes had ever seen
G C
We went down by the river, we went down by the river
D G
Where the water ran slow, thats where we let our lovin run free.
C
We went down by the river, we went down by the river
D G
Just layin low, my true love and me
G C
The waters risin, the streams dividing
D
The river keeps rollin on
G C
Paper boats and pleasures drift away
D
And you may be just a memory
G
But youre shining like a distant star
C D G
That seems to me as clear as yesterday
G C
We went down by the river, we went down by the river
D G
Where the water ran slow, thats where we let our lovin run free.
C
We went down by the river, we went down by the river
D G
Just layin low, my true love and me
