Chord/Tab song: Down to the River

Capo: 3rd Fret

G (mute)
Take me down to the river

Where I can hold your body close to m[D]ine

We'd lis[C]ten to the rhyth[D]m

Of tha[C]t old water rol[D]lin

You can stay[C] with me until t[D]he morning lig[G]ht

[G]I found you in a Louisiana roadside park

Beat up, broke down no place left to tur[D]n

I t[C]ook you back to Texa[D]s under a harve[C]st moo[D]n

We foun[C]d a little place to c[D]all our o[G]wn

[G]We shared all the hopes and dreams of our younger years

Married at the tender age of twenty-o[D]ne

[C]Rollin' down the high[D]ways, dirt r[C]oads and the bywa[D]ys

[C]Would you like to drive so I[D] would go sh[G]otgun

CHORUS

[G]We'd go down to the river

Where I could hold your body close to min[D]e

We'd lis[C]ten to the rhy[D]thm

Of tha[C]t old water rol[D]lin

You can sta[C]y with me until t[D]he morning l[G]ight

[G]Somewhere through the year somebody turned your head

And has taken my sweet love so far from m[D]e

Yeah he swep[C]t you off to Boulder[D]

Where the air [C]it gets much colde[D]r

Than this southe[C]rn boy would ever[D] like to se[G]e

[G]I think of calling you on lonely nights

When being alone gets the best of [D]me

Yeah but thi[C]s here whiskey bottl[D]e

Will tak[C]e me to a pl[D]ace

[C]Where you and I w[D]ill always [G]be

CHORUS

When you [A]came back home everybody said I was a fool

'Cause I took you back without a word to say[E]

But I c[D]ouldn't go on living thin[E]kin' about all I[D] was missin'[E]

And I do[D]nt give a damn about what [E]those people say[A].

CHORUS

We'd go down [A]to the river

Where I could hold your body close to mine[E]

We'd lis[D]ten to the rhy[E]thm

Of tha[D]t old water rol[E]lin

You can sta[D]y with me until t[E]he morning light[A]

I wanna [A]go down to the river

Take me dow[A]n to the river

I wanna [A]go down to the river

[A-E-D] [A-E-D]
