Verse 1:
                 A
Many years gone by,
                         E
But it feels like yesterday.
                                 A
I guess a part of me has never changed,
                       E
As it feels this way.

                                        A
School is nothing but some old man's books,
                            E
So I didn't waste time on this.
                                      A
And when the summer showed its sunny face,
                                E
We'd all meet down at a secret place.

Chorus:
   B           F#m           C#m     A
Oh-oh, just a six-pack and a radio,
     E         B
Down by the river!
        A           E        B
It was back in the day, hey hey!
       F#m         C#m           A
When tomorrow was a year away.
      E        B     A           E
Down by the river, down by the river.

Verse 2:
                      A
No need for calls no rush,
                  E
Many just showed up.
                           A
We shared everything for what you could bring,
                         E
A lighter and a plastic cup.

                              A
Somebody always had a broken heart,
                             E
While somebody just fell in love.
                                             A
And when the sun went down and the stars came up,
                            E
It was all we were dreaming of!

Chorus 2:
   B           F#m            C#m     A
Oh-oh, just a six-pack and a radio,
     E         B
Down by the river!
         A         E         B
It was back in the day, hey hey!
       F#m          C#m              A
When tomorrow was a year away.
      E      B      A          F#min7
Down by the river, down by the river.

Bridge:
                                E
There was skinny dipping after midnight,
                                      A
Stealing kisses in the fire light.
                        B                     E
No job, no plans, just live, just love, just dance, oh!

Oh-oh, just a six-pack and a radio,
     E        B
Down by the river!
       A            E        B
It was back in the day, hey hey!
      F#m            C#m         A
When tomorrow was a year away.
     E       B      A           E
Down by the river, down by the river.
