(E minor) (G major) (D major) (C major) (G major) (A minor) (G major) (C major)
Verse 1
I (E minor) come
from down in the (G major) valley
Where, (D major) mister, when you're young (C major)
They (E minor) bring you up to (G major) do
(C major) like your daddy done (G major)
Me and (C major) Mary we met in high school
When she (G major) was just seventeen
(E minor) We (A minor) drive out of this valley
Down to where (D major) (G major) the fields were (C major) green
We'd (E minor) go down to the (C major) river
And (D major) into the river we'd (G major) dive
Oh, (E minor) down to the river (C major) we'd ride
(D major)

Verse 2
(C major)
Then (E minor) I got Mary preg (G major) nant
And man, (D major) that was all she (C major) wrote
And for (E minor) my nineteenth birth (G major) day
I got a union (C major) card and a wedding coat (G major)
We (C major) went down to the courthouse
And the judge (G major) put it (D major) all to (E minor) rest
No (A minor) wedding day smiles,
no walk down the aisle
No (G major) flowers, no wedding (C major) dress
Verse 3
That night we went (E minor) down to the (C major) river
And (D major) into the river we'd (G major) dive
Oh, (E minor) down to the river (C major) we did (D major) ride

Verse 4
I got (E minor) a job working construc (G major) tion
For the Johnstown (D major) Company (C major)
But (E minor) lately there ain't been much (G major) work
On accoun (C major) t of the economy
(G major) Now (C major) all them things that
seemed so important
Well mister (G major) they vanished
right (D major) into the (E minor) air
Now I just (A minor) act like I don't remember
Mary (G major) acts like she don't (C major) care
Verse 5
But I re (E minor) member us riding
in my (G major) brother's car
Her body (D major) tan and wet, down at the (C major) reservoir
At (E minor) night on them banks I'd lie (G major) awake
And pull her (C major) close just to feel
each breath (G major) she'd take
Now those (C major) memories come
back to haunt me
They (G major) haunt me (D major) like (G major) a curse (E minor)
Is a dream (A minor) a lie if it don't come true
Or (G major) is it something worse (C major)
That sends me (E minor) down to the (C major) river
Though I know (D major) the river is (G major) dry
That sends me (E minor) down to the
(C major) river tonight (D major) (C major)
(E minor) Down to the (C major) river
My (D major) baby and (G major) I
Oh, (E minor) down to the (C major) river we
(D major) ride- ide
