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
C F
Down by the river
G CDown by the river
Said: come in, the water's fine
G CDown by the river
C F
Didn't feel too good all night
G CSo we took a walk in the mornin' light
We came across the strangest side
G CDown by the river
C FSilver fish lay on it's side
It was washed up by the early tide
Am DmI wonder how it died
G CDown by the river
C F
Down by the river
Down by the river
Am DmSilver fish lay on it's side
G CDown by the river
C F
Doctor put us both to bed
He dosed us up and he shook his head
Am DmOnly foolish people go, he said
G CDown by the river
Why do willows weep said he
G CBecause they're dying gradually
Am DmFrom the waste from the factories
Down by the river
Down by the river
G CDown by the river
Am DmWhy do willows weep said he
Down by the river
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
Down by the river
D GThe banks will soon be black and dead
A DAnd 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
A DDown by the river
Hm Em
The banks will soon be black and dead
A DDown by the river
