Down By The River Acordes

[Verse]
G             C
City life was gettin' us down
     D                  G
So we spent the weekend out of town
 Em                    Am
Pitched the tent on a patch of ground
D           G
Down by the river
G               C
Lit a fire and drank some wine
    D                 G
You put your jeans on top of mine
Em                  Am
Said: Come in, the water's fine
D            G
Down by the river
 
[Chorus]
G             C
Down by the river
D           G
Down by the river
Em                 Am
Said: come in, the water's fine
D            G
Down by the river
 
[Verse]
G                C
Didn't feel too good all night
     D                   G
So we took a walk in the mornin' light
Em                    Am
We came across the strangest sight
D          G
Down by the river
G               C
Silver fish lay on it's side
   D                    G
It was washed up by the early tide
 Em            Am
I wonder how it died
D            G
Down by the river
 
[Chorus]
G           C
Down by the river
D            G
Down by the river
Em              Am
Silver fish lay on it's side
D            G
Down by the river
 
[Verse]
G             C
Doctor put us both to bed
D                           G
He dosed us up and he shook his head
 Em                 Am
Only foolish people go, he said
D            G
Down by the river
G              C
Why do willows weep said he
  D                   G
Because they're dying gradually
 Em                     Am
From the waste from the factories
D           G
Down by the river
 
[Chorus]
G           C
Down by the river
D           G
Down by the river
Em             Am
Why do willows weep said he
D           G
Down by the river
 
[Verse]
A                 D
In time the river banks will die
E                           A
The reeds will wilt and the ducks won't fly
F#m                       Bm
There'll be a tear in the otter's eye
E            A
Down by the river
 A                     D
The banks will soon be black and dead
   E                  A
And where the otter's raised his head
F#m                   Bm
Will be a clean white skull instead
E            A
Down by the river
 
[Chorus]
A            D
Down by the river
E            A
Down by the river
F#m                     Bm
The banks will soon be black and dead
 E           A
Down by the river
