[D#m] [F#]
[B]
[D#m] I've grown down in [F#] the valley
Where mister when [B] you're young
They [D#] bring you up to [F#] do
[B] like your daddy [F#] done
[B] Me and Mary were men in high school
[F#] When she was [A#m] just [D#m] 17
[G#m] We drive out of the valley [F#] down to where [C#] the fields [B] were green
We [D#m] went down to [B] the river
[C#] And into the river [F#] we [D#m] died
Down to [B] the river [C#] we'd ride
[B] [D#m] Then I got [F#] married pregnant
[C#] And man, that was [B] all she wrote
[C#] [D#m] For my 19th [F#] birthday
Got a [B] union card and a [F#] wedding coat
[B] We went down to the courthouse [A#] [F#] and the judge put it all [D#m] to rest
[G#] No, any days smiles [G#m] no walk down the aisles
[F#] Flowers [C#] no wedding [B] dress the [D#m] night we went down to [B] the river
[C#] And into the river [F#] we died.
[D#m] Oh
down to [B] the river we [C#] ride
Hi, [B] I
[D#] Got a job working [F#] construction
[C#] for the Johnstone [B] company
Daily [D#m]
there ain't been [F#] much work [B] on account of the [F#] economy
[B] Now all the things seem so important [F#] mister.
They [C#] vanished right into [D#m] the air
Now [G#] I act like I just don't remember
[F#] Mary acts like [C#] she [B] don't care
[G#m] [D#m] But I remember us riding [F#] in my brother's car [B] her body [C#] tan and wet [B] down at the reservoir
[D#m] Out on the [F#] bankside lie awake
[B] Pull her clothes and feel [F#] each breath she take but [B] now those memories come back to haunt me
[F#] Pull me, haunt me like [D#m] a curse
[G#m] Is a dream a lie?
If it don't come true
[F#] Is [G#] it something [B]
worse?
Sends [D#m] me down to [B] the river
Though [C#] I know the river [F#] is dry sends [D#m] me down to [B] the river
[C#] Do not [B] I?
[D#m] Down to [B] the river [C#] my baby [F#] and I [D#m] Oh
