Am C
Down by the river, by the boats
Em Dsus2
Where everybody goes to be alone
Am C
Where you won't see any rising sun
Em Dsus2 Am
Down to the river we will run
Verse:
Am C
When by the water we drink to the dregs
Em Dsus2
Look at the stones on the river bed
Am C
I can tell from your eyes
Em Dsus2 Am
You've never been by the riverside
Verse:
Am C
Down by the water the riverbed
Em Dsus2
Somebody calls you, somebody says
Am C
Swim with the current and float away
Em Dsus2
Down by the river everyday

Oh my God, I see how everything is torn in the river deep

And I don't know why I go the way down by the riverside
Verse:
Am C
When that old river runs past your eyes
Em Dsus2
To wash off the dirt on the riverside
Am C
Go to the water so very near
Em Dsus2 Am
The river will be your eyes and ears
Verse:
Am C
I walk to the borders on my own
Em Dsus2
Fall in the water just like a stone
Am C
Chilled to the marrow in them bones
Em Dsus2...
Why do I go here all alone?
