City life was gettin' us down
G CSo we spent the weekend out of town
Am DmPitched the tent on a patch of ground
Down by the river
C FLittle fire and drank some wine
G CYou put your jeans on top of mine
Said: come in, the water's fine
G CDown by the river
Down by the river
G CDown by the river
Am DmSaid: come in, the water's fine
Down by the river
C F
Didn't feel too good all night
So we took a walk in the mornin' light
Am DmWe came across the strangest side
G CDown by the river
Silver fish lay on it's side
G CIt was washed up by the early tide
Am DmI wonder how it died
Down by the river
Down by the river
G CDown by the river
Am DmSilver fish lay on it's side
Down by the river
Doctor put us both to bed
G CHe dosed us up and he shook his head
Am DmOnly foolish people go, he said
Down by the river
C FWhy do willows weep said he
G CBecause they're dying gradually
From the waste from the factories
G CDown by the river
C F
Down by the river
G CDown by the river
Why do willows weep said he
G CDown by the river
D G
In time the river banks will die
A DThe region wilt and the dogs will fly
Hm Em
There'll be a tear in the otter's eye
A DDown by the river
D GThe banks will soon be black and dead
And where the otter's raised his head
Hm Em
Will be a clean white stone instead
A DDown by the river
D G
Down by the river
Down by the river
Hm Em
The banks will soon be black and dead
A DDown by the river
