Intro:
Am  C  Em  Dsus2  
Am  C  Em  Dsus2  Am

Verse:
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

Chorus:
Am    Em     G       Dsus2          Am         Em    G
Oh my God, I see how everything is torn in the river deep
  Fmaj7            Am  Em     G   Dsus2 F            Am
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?

Chorus:
...Am    Em     G       Dsus2           Am        Em    G
   Oh my God, I see how everything is torn in the river deep
  Fmaj7            Am  Em     G   Dsus2 F            Am...
And I don't know why I go the way down by the riverside

Chorus:
   ...Em     G       Dsus2           Am        Em    G
Oh my God, I see how everything is torn in the river deep
  Fmaj7            Am  Em     G   Dsus2 F            Am
And I don't know why I go the way down by the riverside

Outro:
Am      C   Em  G
Oh, oh,   I
Am      C   Em  D
Oh, oh,   I
Am      C   Em  G
Oh, oh,   I
Dsus2   F           Am
Down by   the riverside
Dsus2   F           Am
Down by   the riverside
Down by   the riverside
Gsus2   Bb           Dm
