who knows, who cares
you could let it down
jump into the river baby
easy as it sounds
it's never quite as easily done
the current has us now, it's ok
take into account that it's all about to change
who knows, who cares
no one's been there
but i don't care
i know all have been there

version 2
The song has 2 chords through the whole thing.
Capo 1
[Intro]
A and D
I prefer a better sound so instead, go for:
A/Ab and D/Db
You can do A/Ab as [x 0 2 1 2 0] but try [5 7 6 6 0 0]
And D/Db as [x x 0 2 2 2] but try [x 5 7 6 7 0]
A/Ab
i've been going down
down into the river baby
listen to the sound
D/Db
it's something only god knows
A/Ab
you figure it out, i can't stay
water's in the clouds
D/Db
is my life about to change?
A/Ab D/Db
who knows, who cares
A/Ab-D/Db
so we took a van down to colorado
where we ran into the dead
i took you by the hand
know that even with your doubts, it's ok
take into account that it's not about to change
who knows, who cares
you could let it down
jump into the river baby
easy as it sounds
it's never quite as easily done
the current has us now, it's ok
take into account that it's all about to change

The bass takes over, and the guitar becomes the following:

The V's are my crude way of saying to up-strum the chords relatively slowly
(but be quick in between the repeat)
I've been going down
Down into the river baby

Complete Lyrics:
Verse 1:
I've been going down
Down into the river baby
Listen to the sound
It's something only god knows
You figure it out, I can't stay
Water's in the clouds
Is my life about to change?
Who knows, who cares
Verse 2:
So we took a van down to Colorado
Where we ran into the dead
I took you by the hand
Know that even with your doubts, it's okay
Take into account that it's not about to change
Who knows, who cares
Chorus:
Oh ho, Oh ho, Oh ho ho.. ho ho, Oh ho ho.. ho ho
Verse 3:
You could let it down
Jump into the river baby
Easy as it sounds
It's never quite as easily done
The current has us now, it's ok
Take into account that it's all about to change
Who knows, who cares
Bridge:
Oooo...
No one's been there
But I don't care
I know
all have been there
I don't care
I know
Chorus:
Oh ho, Oh ho, Oh ho ho.. ho ho, Oh ho ho.. ho ho (x3)
