Down By The River Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

DGo you remember, you took my haCnd,

And we walked out across the fieDlds,

Down the lane and over the railway liGne

Our hearts were racing, our fe[C}et were chasing,

We were looking for a hideaway, getDting lost and losing track of tiGme

WGe went down by the river, we went doCwn by the river

Where the waDter ran slow, that’s where we let our lovin’ run frGee.

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

Just laDyin’ low, my true love and mGe

YGou let your long brown hair hang doCwn

You saw your dress was swayin’ in the breDeze

We were skimmin’ stones out across the streGam

You had a lazy style and a careCfree smile

You were a breathless beauty to beDhold

The sweetest sight my eyes had ever seGen

WGe went down by the river, we went doCwn by the river

Where the waDter ran slow, that’s where we let our lovin’ run frGee.

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

Just laDyin’ low, my true love and mGe

TGhe water’s risin’, the stream’s diviCding

The river keeps rollin’ oDn

PaGper boats and pleasures drift awCay

And you may be just a meDmory

But you’re shining like a distant stGar

That seCems to me as cleDar as yesterGday

WGe went down by the river, we went doCwn by the river

Where the waDter ran slow, that’s where we let our lovin’ run frGee.

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

Just laDyin’ low, my true love and mGe
