[Verse]
    F#m7
She was her daddy's little girl,
                                        E
Getting to know the big wide world in a little town.
F#m7
Feels so right, can't be wrong, 
                                       E
But it won't take the word too long to get around.
Dbm                                     Abm7
Tears were rolling down her face, she'd brought the family disgrace,
A                                     Bsus
Then we watched the tail-lights fade away.

[Chorus]
         A
Down the river road, river road,
E
Daddy took her down that river road.
A
Frightened of the stones they'd throw,
B         A     E     B         A     E
Down that river road, down that river road.

[Verse]
F#m7
Ramblin' Jack he drank like a fish,
                                              E
In a rundown shack with a brand new satellite dish.
   F#m7
He lived on the water all of his life,
                                 E
TV dinners with his brand new TV wife.
    Dbm                               Abm7           
You know he's always carried on since Ramblin' Jack was Little John,
    A                                   Bsus
The day his daddy's boat went down with all the family.

[Chorus]
         A
Down the river road, the river road,
E
Jack's seen 'em come and he's seen 'em go.
A
Nobody lasts too long you know,
B         A     E     B         A     E
Down that river road, down that river road.

[Verse]
         F#m7
He had a black XY with a 351, 
                         E
As dangerous as a loaded gun.
    F#m7 
His cigarettes rolled up in his sleeve,
                         E
Looking way to hard to believe.
   Dbm                       Abm7
He hasn't seen his Mary-Anne since the whole thing hit the fan,
   A                                       Bsus
He thinks about what might have been as he puts the pedal down....

[Verse]
     A
That river road, river road,
    E
The wheels are turnin' on the river road.
A
Leaving everything he knows,
B         A     E
Down that river road.
    A 
The river road, the river road,
    E
The wheels are turnin' on the river road.
A
Just another episode,
B         A     E     B         A     E
Down that river road, down that river road,
B         A     E
Down that river road.
