_ _ [Ab] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Cm] I come from [Eb] down the valley, _ [Bb] where me stirrl and your [Eb] young
They [Cm] bring you up to do, _
_ [Ab] like your daddy [Bb] done
Me and Mary met in high school, [Eb] when she was just [Cm] seventeen
We'd _ [Fm] ride out off this valley, _ [Eb] to where the fields are [Ab] green
We'd go [Cm] down to [Ab] the river, [Bb] into the river [Eb] we'd dive
Oh, [Cm] down [Bb] to the river we'd ride
And _ [Cm] I got Mary [Eb] pregnant, _ [Bb] man that was so [F] she wrote
For [Cm]
my nineteenth [Eb] birthday, I got [Ab] a union card and a wedding [Bb] coat
_ [F] We went down to the courthouse, [Eb] and the judge put it all [Cm] to rest
_ [Fm] No wedding day smiles, no walk down the aisles, [Eb] no flowers, no wedding dress
That [Cm] night we went down [Bb] to the river, into the river [Eb] we'd dive
[Bb] Oh, [Cm] down to [Bb] the river we'd ride
_ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Cm] _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ [Cm] And I got a job [Eb] working construction, [Bb] for the Jonestown [F] Company
But [Cm] lately there's not [Eb] been much work, [Ab] down to the [Bb] economy
_ [F] All those things that seem so important, _ [Eb] they vanish into [Cm] air
I [Fm] act like I don't remember, _ [Eb]
Mary acts like she don't care
But I [Cm] remember driving [Eb] in my brother's car, her [Bb] body tanned and wet, [F] down by the reservoir
[Cm] And on those banks [Eb] I'd lie awake, and pull [F] her close just to feel every breath she'd take
Those memories come back to haunt me, they [Bb] haunt me like [Cm] a curse
_ [Fm] Is a dream a lie, if it don't come true, [F] or is it something worse?
That sends [Cm] me down [Ab] to the river, [Bb] even though the river runs [Eb] dry
Oh, [Cm] down [Bb] to the river, tonight, [F] I, I, I
[Cm] That sends me down to [Ab] the river, [Bb] my baby [Eb] and I
[Cm] Oh, down [Ab] to the river [Bb] we ride _
_ _ [B] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _
Thank you so much _ _ _ _ _
