Down To The River

(início)

Capo:  3rd Fret
G (mute)
Take me down to the river
                       D
Where I can hold your body close to mine
     C            D
We'd listen to the rhythm
    C                D
Of that old water rollin
       C           D         G
You can stay with me until the morning light
G
I found you in a Louisiana roadside park
                        D
Beat up, broke down no place left to turn
   C            D         C    D
I took you back to Texas under a harvest moon
    C                D     G
We found a little place to call our own
G
We shared all the hopes and dreams of our younger years
                        D
Married at the tender age of twenty-one
C              D            C           D
Rollin' down the highways, dirt roads and the byways
C                  D         G
Would you like to drive so I would go shotgun
CHORUS
G
We'd go down to the river
                         D
Where I could hold your body close to mine
     C           D
We'd listen to the rhythm
    C                D
Of that old water rollin
       C           D        G
You can stay with me until the morning light
G
Somewhere through the year somebody turned your head
                        D
And has taken my sweet love so far from me
       C            D
Yeah he swept you off to Boulder
        C                  D
Where the air it gets much colder
           C         D       G
Than this southern boy would ever like to see
G
I think of calling you on lonely nights
                    D
When being alone gets the best of me
       C             D
Yeah but this here whiskey bottle
      C       D
Will take me to a place
C          D        G
Where you and I will always be
CHORUS
     A
When you came back home everybody said I was a fool
                                      E
'Cause I took you back without a word to say
     D                  E           D            E
But I couldn't go on living thinkin' about all I was missin'
      D               E         A
And I donÕt give a damn about what those people say.
CHORUS
        A
We'd go down to the river
                                      E
Where I could hold your body close to mine
     D           E
We'd listen to the rhythm
    D                E
Of that old water rollin
       D           E           A
You can stay with me until the morning light
     A
I wanna go down to the river
      A
Take me down to the river
     A
I wanna go down to the river
A E D   A E D
