β« Verse :
Em
went down to the river today
Em
I met a man laid out on the bank
G A
A slug in his head a hole in his faith
G G/F#
The gun in his hand the look on his face
Em
Told me there's trouble out here in the pines
Em
Where comforts low and anxiety is high
G A
I thought to tell the town but what would I
say
G G/F#
I went down to the river today
β« Interlude:
Em |Em |G A :
β« Verse :
Em
I went down to the river today
Em
I found what a man once threw away
G A
A reason to leave a reason live
G G/F#
Something to take something to give
Em
So I took the advice of the man that I met
Em
The look in his eyes all full of regret
G A
There wasn't much more that I could say
G G/F#
I went down to the river today
