(Verse)GTake me down to the riverDWhere I can hold your body close to mineC DWe'd listen to the rhythmC DOf that old water rollinC D GYou can stay with me until the morning lightGI found you in a Louisiana roadside parkDBeat up, broke down no place left to turnC D C DI took you back to Texas under a harvest moonC D GWe found a little place to call our ownGWe shared all the hopes and dreams of our younger yearsDMarried at the tender age of twenty-oneC D C DRollin' down the highways, dirt roads and the bywaysC D GWould you like to drive so I would go shotgun(Chorus)GWe'd go down to the riverDWhere I could hold your body close to mineC DWe'd listen to the rhythmC DOf that old water rollinC D GYou can stay with me until the morning lightGSomewhere through the year somebody turned your headDAnd has taken my sweet love so far from meC DYeah he swept you off to BoulderC DWhere the air it gets much colderC D GThan this southern boy would ever like to seeGI think of calling you on lonely nightsDWhen being alone gets the best of meC DYeah but this here whiskey bottleC DWill take me to a placeC D GWhere you and I will always be(Chorus)AWhen you came back home everybody said I was a foolE'Cause I took you back without a word to sayD E D EBut I couldn't go on living thinkin' about all I was missin'D E AAnd I don?t give a damn about what those people say.(Chorus)AWe'd go down to the riverEWhere I could hold your body close to mineD EWe'd listen to the rhythmD EOf that old water rollinD E AYou can stay with me until the morning lightAI wanna go down to the riverATake me down to the riverAI wanna go down to the river(Outro)A E D A E D
