Standard (EADGBE)

Riff

Take me Bm2 down to the river

Where I wouldBm2  not go before

Through the Bm2 trees and the rushes

To a place we both know

And I'm feeling much younger

As I kneel on the ground

Dip my toe in the water

Of the river where I watched you drown

Na da da, na na na na, na na na

Oh, when the river ran dry that next year

I could not find your body

Now I'm standing here ready at last

 To dive down and reach you again

And I Bm2 long to be with you

Now these Bm2 cold nights have come

Oh I go Bm2 down to the river

 But the river will stop for no-one

 Though I ask it, it keeps flowing on

 When I ask it, it tells me you're gone.
