The New Roses - Down by the river

Many years gone b^Ay, But it feels like yesterd^Eay. I guess a part of me has never ch^Aanged, And still feels this wa^Ey.

School was nothing but some old man's bo^Aoks, So I didn't waste time on th^Eis. And when the summer showed its sunny f^Aace, We'd all meet down at our secret^E place.

Oh-^Boh, just a s^F#mixpack and a r^C#madio, ^A Down ^Eby the riv^Ber! It was b^Aack in the d^Eay, hey h^Bey! When to^F#mmorrow was a^C#m year away. ^A Down b^Ey the riv^Ber, do^Awn by the ri^Ever.

No need for calls no r^Aush, Man you just showe^Ed up. We shared everything for wh^Aat you could bring, A lighter and a plastic c^Eup.

Somebody always had a broken h^Aeart, While somebody just fell in l^Eove. And when the sun went down and the stars came^A out, It was all we were dreaming ^Eof!

Oh-^Boh, just a s^F#mixpack and a r^C#madio, ^A Down ^Eby the riv^Ber! It was ba^Ack in the ^Eday, hey h^Bey! When to^F#mmorrow was a ^C#myear away. ^A Down b^Ey the r^Biver, d^Aown by the ^F#min7river.

There was skinny dipping after m^Eidnight, Stealing kisses in the firelight. ^A No job, no plans, just l^Bive, just love, just d^Eance, oh!

Come on, come on, co^Eme on! [Chorus 3] Oh-^Boh, just a s^F#mix-pack and a ^C#mradio, ^A Down ^Eby the ri^Bver! It was ^Aback in the d^Eay, hey h^Bey! When t^F#momorrow was a y^C#mear away. ^A Down ^Eby the r^Biver, d^Aown by the r^Eiver.
