Am  C  Em  D  x 2  w/ mélodie               (syncopé)

Am

Am                C                         (plaqué)
Down by the river by the boat 
      Em                D
Where everybody goes to be alone 
Am                      C 
Where you won't see any rising sun 
Em                D
Down to the river we will run 

Am

When by the water we drink to the dregs 
Look at the stones on the river bed 
I can tell from your eyes
You've never been by the riverside 

Am

Down by the water the riverbed 
Somebody calls you, somebody says 
Swim with the current and float away
Down by the river everyday 

  Am    Em    G       D
  Oh my God I see how everything is
  Am          Em    G        F
  Torn in the river deep and I don't know
  Am    Em     G
  Why I go the way
  D    F  G/F
  Down by     the riverside 

Am

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

Am 

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 

  Refrain  x 2

Am

Am  C  Em  G  w/ oh oh (ouh ouh) I-I

Am  C  Em  D

Am  C  Em  G

  D       F          Am
  Down by   the riverside  x 2

Am
