^CCity life was gettin' us ^Fdown S^Go we spent the weekend ^Cout of town P^Amitched the tent on a patch ^Dmof ground ^GDown by the ^Criver ^CLittle fire and drank some ^Fwine ^GYou put your jeans on top ^Cof mine ^AmSaid: come in, the water's ^Dmfine ^GDown by the r^Civer

^CDown by the ri^Fver ^GDown by the ^Criver ^AmSaid: come in, the ^Dmwater's fine ^GDown by the r^Civer

^CDidn't feel too good all ^Fnight ^GSo we took a walk in the m^Cornin' light ^AmWe came across the str^Dmangest side D^Gown by the ^Criver ^CSilver fish lay on it's ^Fside I^Gt was washed up by the^C early tide I^Am wonder how it ^Dmdied ^GDown by the r^Civer

^CDown by the ^Friver ^GDown by the r^Civer ^AmSilver fish lay on i^Dmt's side ^GDown by the r^Civer

^CDoctor put us both to ^Fbed ^GHe dosed us up and he shook ^Chis head O^Amnly foolish people go,^Dm he said ^GDown by the r^Civer ^CWhy do willows weep sa^Fid he ^GBecause they're dying gr^Cadually ^Am>From the waste from ^Dmthe factories ^GDown by the ^Criver

^CDown by the ^Friver ^GDown by the ^Criver ^AmWhy do willows weep^Dm said he ^GDown by the r^Civer

^DIn time the river banks w^Gill die ^AThe region wilt and the dogs ^Dwill fly ^HmThere'll be a tear in the ^Emotter's eye ^ADown by the r^Diver T^Dhe banks will soon be black ^Gand dead ^AAnd where the otter's raised ^Dhis head ^HmWill be a clean white st^Emone instead ^ADown by the r^Diver

^DDown by the r^Giver ^ADown by the r^Diver ^HmThe banks will soon be bl^Emack and dead D^Aown by the r^Diver
