Verse 1
(E minor) I come (G major) (D major) (C major) (G major) (A minor) (G major) (C major)
(E minor) from down in the (G major) valley
Where (D major) mister, when you're young (C major)
They bring (E minor) you up to do, (G major)
like (C major) your daddy's done
(G major) Me and (C major) Mary, we met in high school
When (G major) she was just (D major) seventeen
(E minor) We'd (A minor) ride out of this valley
Until the (G major) wet field (D major) s were green (C major)
We'd go down (E minor) to the (C major) river
and (D major) into the river we'd (G major) dive
Oh, (D major) down (E minor) to the (C major) river we'd ride (D major) (C major)
Then (E minor) I got Mary preg (G major) nant
and, (D major) man, that was all she wanted (C major)
For (E minor) my 19th (G major) birthday,
I got a union (C major) card and a wedding coat (G major)
We went (C major) down to the courthouse
and the judge (G major) put it (D major) all to rest (E minor)
No (A minor) wed ding day smiles,
no walk down the aisle,
no (G major) flowers, no (D major) wedding dress
(C major) That night we went (E minor) down to the (C major) river
And (D major) into the river we di (G major) ve
Oh, down (E minor) to the (C major) river we drive (D major) (C major)
I've (E minor) got a job working construc (G major) tion
For the (D major) Johnstown's company (C major)
But lately (E minor) 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
seem so important, well
Mr. (G major) Davin is flying (D major) to the air (E minor)
Now I just (A minor) act like I don't remember,
and Mary act (G major) s like she (D major) don't care (C major)
But I remem (E minor) ber us riding
in my (G major) brother's car
Her body tan (D major) and wet down at the (C major) reservoir
At (E minor) night on them banks I lie (G major) awake
And pull her (C major) close
just to feel each breath (G major) she take
Now those (C major) memories come
back to haunt me
They (G major) haunt me like (D major) a (E minor) curse
It's a (A minor) dream, a lie if it don't come true
Or (G major) is it something (D major) worse? (C major)
That sends me (E minor) down to the (C major) river
Though (D major) I know the river is (G major) dry
Oh, (D major) down (E minor) to the (C major) river we ride (D major)
I, (C major) down (E minor) to the (C major) river
Oh (D major) baby and (G major) I,
oh (D major) down (E minor) to the (C major) river we ride, (D major)
I
(C major) (E minor)
