Riverbank by Jeff Bates
Riverbank
Capo:no capo
[Verse]
D
If there was ever a morning when the fish might bite,
G
it'd be right now
D G
Any other time we'd done had our lines cast out
Bm A
Sippin? on a jug of mama's sweet iced tea
G D/F#
Catchin? them 'ol cats
Em A
Why couldn't today be like that?
[Chorus]
D
I wish this was a riverbank
G
Instead of a graveyard
D
I wish we were sittin? and fishin?
G
and this wouldn't be so hard
Bm A
It was my favorite thing that we used to do,
G D/F# Em
but now we can't; I wish you were here
A Bm A G D/F# Em
and I wish this were a riverbank
[Verse]
D G
Remember the day when I baited my hook with a chunk of ham
D G
I got a big bite and he yanked the pole right outta my hand
Bm A
Well you jumped up and you grabbed the net
G D/F#
and we both jumped in
Em A
yeah, we got wet oh but we got him
[Chorus]
D
I wish this was a riverbank
G
Instead of a graveyard
D
I wish we were sittin? and fishin?
G
and this wouldn't be so hard
Bm A
It was my favorite thing that we used to do,
G D/F# Em
but now we can't; I wish you were here
A
and I wish this were a riverbank
[Bridge]
G D/F# Em D/F#
I know you wouldn't want me sittin? 'round and bein' sad
G A D
You taught me better than that
G D/F#
So I'm leavin' now gonna head on out
Em D/F# C
And try to catch a few and while I'm there
G A
I'll cast a line for you
[Chorus/Outro]

Instead of a graveyard

I wish we were sittin? and fishin?
G A G A
and this wouldn't be so damn hard

G D/F# Em
but now we can't; I wish you were here

I wish you were here
Em
I wish you were here
A Bm A G D/F# Em
and I wish this were a riverbank
