Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Key: G+G

Verse 1:
G+G
Do you remember, you took my hand,
     A minorAm
And we walked out across the fields,
D MajorD                  G+G
Down the lane and over the railway line
G+G
Our hearts were racing, our feet were chasing,
     A minorAm                           G+G
We were looking for a hideaway, getting lost and losing track of time

Chorus:
G+G                  A minorAm
We went down by the river, we went down by the river
      D MajorD                  G+G
Where the water ran slow, swear our lovin' ran free.
G+G                  A minorAm
We went down by the river, we went down by the river
    D MajorD             G+G
Just layin' low, my true love and me

Verse 2:
   G+G
You let your long brown hair hang down
       A minorAm
You saw your dress was swayin' in the breeze
D MajorD                    G+G
We were skimmin' stones out across the stream
G+G
You had a lazy style and a care free smile
       A minorAm
You were a breathless beauty to behold
    D MajorD               G+G
The sweetest sight, my eyes had ever seen

Chorus:
G+G                  A minorAm
We went down by the river, we went down by the river
      D MajorD                   G+G
Where the water ran slow, swear our lovin' ran free.
G+G                  A minorAm
We went down by the river, we went down by the river
    D MajorD             G+G
Just layin' low, my true love and me

Instrumental:
G+G A minorAm D MajorD G+G A minorAm D MajorD G+G

Verse 3:
    G+G
Well water's risin', the stream's dividing
   A minorAm
The river keeps rollin' on,
 D MajorD                G+G
Paper boats and pleasures drift away
   G+G
And you may be just a memory
       A minorAm
But you're shining like a distant star
D MajorD               G+G
Seems to me as clear as yesterday

Chorus:
G+G                  A minorAm
We went down by the river, we went down by the river
      D MajorD                   G+G
Where the water ran slow, swear our lovin' ran free.
G+G                  A minorAm
We went down by the river, we went down by the river
    D MajorD             G+G  D MajorD G+G
Just layin' low, my true love and me
