Down By The River by Jon Allen
Down By The River
Capo:no capo
D[G]o you remember, you took my ha[C]nd,
And we walked out across the fie[D]lds,
Down the lane and over the railway li[G]ne
Our hearts were racing, our fe[C}et were chasing,
We were looking for a hideaway, get[D]ting lost and losing track of ti[G]me
W[G]e went down by the river, we went do[C]wn by the river
Where the wa[D]ter ran slow, that’s where we let our lovin’ run fr[G]ee.
We went down by the river, we went do[C]wn by the river
Just la[D]yin’ low, my true love and m[G]e
Y[G]ou let your long brown hair hang do[C]wn
You saw your dress was swayin’ in the bre[D]eze
We were skimmin’ stones out across the stre[G]am
You had a lazy style and a care[C]free smile
You were a breathless beauty to be[D]hold
The sweetest sight my eyes had ever se[G]en
W[G]e went down by the river, we went do[C]wn by the river
Where the wa[D]ter ran slow, that’s where we let our lovin’ run fr[G]ee.
We went down by the river, we went do[C]wn by the river
Just la[D]yin’ low, my true love and m[G]e
T[G]he water’s risin’, the stream’s divi[C]ding
The river keeps rollin’ o[D]n
Pa[G]per boats and pleasures drift aw[C]ay
And you may be just a me[D]mory
But you’re shining like a distant st[G]ar
That se[C]ems to me as cle[D]ar as yester[G]day
W[G]e went down by the river, we went do[C]wn by the river
Where the wa[D]ter ran slow, that’s where we let our lovin’ run fr[G]ee.
We went down by the river, we went do[C]wn by the river
Just la[D]yin’ low, my true love and m[G]e

Do you remember, you took my hand,

We went down by the river, we went down by the river

Where the water ran slow, swear our lovin' ran free.

Just layin' low, my true love and me

Well water's risin', the stream's dividing

But you're shining like a distant star

Seems to me as clear as yesterday

Where the water ran slow, swear our lovin' ran free.
