Verse 1:
G+G C majorC
Down by the river,
E minorEm C majorC
and near the eastern shore.
G+G C majorC
There is a man who's been searching for love,
E minorEm C majorC
where he has never before.
G+G C majorC
He has a weak liver,
E minorEm C majorC
His soul is nearly gone.

He can't shake off all his wickedness
E minorEm C majorC
and he can't stop doin' wrong.
Verse 2:
G+G C majorC
Down by the river,
E minorEm C majorC
there's a girl who's seventeen
G+G C majorC
and all the make up can't protect her eyes
E minorEm C majorC
from all the evil she has seen.
G+G C majorC
And if she don't deliver,
E minorEm C majorC
her daddy puts her down.
G+G C majorC E minorEm
But somehow she tried to find the strength to pick herself off the ground.
