Am C
Down by the river by the boats
G D
Where everybody goes to be alone
Am C
Where you wont see any rising sun
G D
Down to the river we will run
Am C
When by the water we drink to the dregs
G D
Look at the stones on the river bed
Am C
I_ can_ te__ll from_ your_ eyes_
G D
You've_ never been by the river_side
Am C
Down by the water the riverbed
G D
Somebody calls you somebody says
Am C
swim with the current and float_ away_
G D
Down by the river_ everyday
Chorus:
Am Em G D Am Em G
Oh_ my God_ I see_ how everything is torn_ in the river_ deep_
D Am Em G
And I_ don't know why_ I go_ the way_
D Am
Down_ by_ the riverside
When that old river runs pass your eyes
To wash off the dirt on the riverside
Go to the water so_ very near_
The river will be_ your eyes_ and ears_
I walk to the borders_ on my own
To fall in the water just like_ a stone
Chilled to the marrow_ in them bones
Why do I go here_ all alone
Oh_ my God_ I see how everything is torn_ in the river_ deep_
And I_ don't know why_ I go_ the way_
Down_ by_ the riverside
