[A] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#m] I come from down in the [A] valley _ where [E] we stood when you [B] were young.
_ They bring [F#m] you up to [A] do _ _ [D] like your daddy [A] done.
_ Me [D] and Mary, we met in high school [A] when she was just [E] 17.
[F#m] _ _ We [Bm] ride out of this valley, _ don't know where the fields [D] were. _ _ _ _
_ [F#m] We go down to [D] the river, [E] head into the river [A] we dive.
Oh, [F#m] down to [D] the river we [E] ride.
_ _ [D] _
[A] _ _ [F#m] Then I got Mary pregnant, _ [E] and man that was all [D] she wrote.
_ [F#m] And for my [A] 19th birthday I got a [D] union card _ [A] and code.
_ [D] We went down to the courthouse and [A] the judge [E] put it on [F#m] the wrist.
_ [Bm] No wedding day smiles, no walk down the aisle, [A] no flowers, no wedding [D]
dress.
That night [F#m] we went down to [D] the river, _ [E] head into the river [A] we dive.
[F#m] Oh, down to [D]
the river [E] we ride.

_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] Then I got a job working [A] construction for [E] the Georgetown _ [D] Company.
_ _ [F#m] But lately there ain't been [A] no work on [D] account of the [A] economy.
_ _ Now all them things that seemed so important, well mister they vanished [G#m] right into [F#m] the air.
Now I [Bm] just act like I don't remember, _ and [A] Mary acts like she don't [D] care.
[F#m] But I remember us riding in my brother's car, her body [E] tan and wet, down at the [D] reservoir.
At night on those banks I'd [A] lie awake and pull [D] her close just to feel each breath she'd take.
Now those memories come back, _ _ _ _ they haunt [A] me like [F#m] a curse.
Is a [Bm] dream a lie that don't come true?
Or [A] is it something [D] worse that sent [F#m] me down to [D] the river?
Oh, [E] I know the river [A] is dry, it sends [F#m] me down to [D] the river [E] tonight. _ _
[D] Down _ _ _ [F#m] _ to [D] the river, [E] my baby [A] and I.
_ [F#m] Oh, down to [D] the river [E] we ride. _ _
