Down By The River chords by China Drum

Guitar chords with lyrics

I'm not expecting too many people to ever read this but as I had worked this track out for myself I thought
I'd post it anyway. China Drum are/were a vastly underated band who should have been much bigger thah they
were, down by the river is on their excellent album self made maniac.
I think I've got the chords about right but if you are one of the few people to see this and you disagree
feel free to tell me.
