#This is one of the best song I know so far. Besides it's very easy (at least the
#rhythm guitar, singing simutaneously might be more difficult)!
#The G is played at the 3rd fret and you slide into the F played at the first
#fret, everytime you have a G followed by an F.
#You really have to listen to the CD for the rhythm of the voice. I thought
#about putting the chords right where they are sung, but somehow this made
#the appearance of the file even worse, so I aligned them to the words, which
#is not exactly the way they are sung, but much easier to visualize. You'll
#get it anyway, I guess.

[G]Down by the Riverside, well [F]there's a place for me
Where [C]I won't sit and think about [C]where I'd rather be
[G]and I don't need no[F]thing
[C]but the look on my [C]face
G(stop)
It's all bullshit
F(stop) D C(stop)
It's just the time it takes between
where it comes and where [G]it [D]

[C]You can go swimming, no sign of rainstorms or
[F]thunder I won't be joining you
[C]because today between the time it's taking
F C(stop)
me to wonder I just might get sucked under

single note riff: g a# c d#^c

e-I-----------------------|I
h-I---------------po------|I
g-I----------5~~~-8^5~~---|I
d-I----5--8---------------|I
A-I-----------------------|I
E-I-----------------------|I

[G]Down by the [F]ocean,[C] it's all behind me[C] it's just an open sea,
[G]and I can really see for [F]miles
[C]I wish I knew [C]just what I was looking for
G(stop) F(stop) D
A pool of endless rhymes, I ain't talking 'bout the water
C(stop) G D
We're talking time, where it comes and where it yeah

[C]You can go swimming, there's been no warning of [F]hurricane
or tidal wave, ain't no dangerous [C]fish out there
I won't be joining you [F]still
It's just a feeling in me I get washed out to the [C]sea

Yeah the [C(sus2]sea

D D Am Am fooling around with Dsus2, Dsus4,
D D Am Am(stop) Am7 and Amsus2 sounds nice if you're
playing alone (i.e. without band)

[D]I wish I could go 'cause you know
that the water doesn't [C]usually frighten me so
It's not the depth of the [F]sea that infatuates me
It's what remains to be [G]seen, like the time in between
where it comes and where it [D]goes [F]
D F C(stop) riff
where it goes yeah

[G]Down in a creekbed [F]in my old neighbourhood
[C]there is a trickle that's [C]dirty and warm
[G]and I have spend many a [F]childhood hour there
[C]It's where I used to play, [C]seems like yesterday
[G]But I was younger then, [F]just make believing
[C]making wishes [C]and tossing pennies in
G(stop) F(stop)
and now I've grown, haven't changed my tone,
just getting stoned [D]and ain't pretending that I [C]know [F]

[C]You can go swimming though it's only a [F]trickle there
and the floodgates haven't worked for [C]years
I won't be joining you, [F]no, I wish I could go

but I
and [C]I [F]
[C]You can go swimming [F]

fade out...
