Pat Green, Down To The River Tabs
Artist/Band: Green Pat Tabs
Song: Down To The River Tab
Capo: 3rd Fret
G (mute)
Take me down to the river
D
Where I can hold your body close to mine
C D
We'd listen to the rhythm
C D
Of that old water rollin
C D G
You can stay with me until the morning light
G
I found you in a Louisiana roadside park
D
Beat up, broke down no place left to turn
C D C D
I took you back to Texas under a harvest moon
C D G
We found a little place to call our own
G
We shared all the hopes and dreams of our younger years
D
Married at the tender age of twenty-one
C D C D
Rollin' down the highways, dirt roads and the byways
C D G
Would you like to drive so I would go shotgun
CHORUS
G
We'd go down to the river
D
Where I could hold your body close to mine
C D
We'd listen to the rhythm
C D
Of that old water rollin
C D G
You can stay with me until the morning light
G
Somewhere through the year somebody turned your head
D
And has taken my sweet love so far from me
C D
Yeah he swept you off to Boulder
C D
Where the air it gets much colder
C D G
Than this southern boy would ever like to see
G
I think of calling you on lonely nights
D
When being alone gets the best of me
C D
Yeah but this here whiskey bottle
C D
Will take me to a place
C D G
Where you and I will always be
CHORUS
A
When you came back home everybody said I was a fool
E
'Cause I took you back without a word to say
D E D E
But I couldn't go on living thinkin' about all I was missin'
D E A
And I donŐt give a damn about what those people say.
CHORUS
A
We'd go down to the river
E
Where I could hold your body close to mine
D E
We'd listen to the rhythm
D E
Of that old water rollin
D E A
You can stay with me until the morning light
A
I wanna go down to the river
A
Take me down to the river
A
I wanna go down to the river
A-E-D A-E-D
