  Am                     C              G                   F
I come from down in the valley   Where mister, when you're young
       Am             C  F               C
They bring you up to do like your daddy done
        F                                 C           G    Am
Me and Mary we met in high school  When she was just seventeen
      Dm                                C                     F
We'd drive out of this valley down to where the fields were green

Chorus :
         Am          F        G                    C
We'd go down to the river And into the river we'd dive
    Am          F          G  F
Oh down to the river we’d ride

Verse :

    Am                C       G                      F
Then I got Mary pregnant  And man, that was all she wrote
    Am           C                      F                  C
And for my 19th birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat
    F                                    C           G       Am
We went down to the courthouse  And the judge put it all to rest
    Dm
No wedding day smiles, no walk down the aisle
     C                   F
No flowers, no wedding dress

Chorus :
                   Am          F
That night we went down to the river
    G                    C
And into the river we'd dive
    Am          F            G   F
Oh down to the river we did ride

Verse :
  Am                     C               G               F
I got a job working construction for the Johnstown Company
     Am                      C              F                 C
But lately there ain't been much work on account of the economy
    F
Now all them things that seemed so important
              C                 G            Am
Well mister they vanished right into the air
           Dm                               C                    F
Now I just act like I don't remember   Mary acts like she don't care

Bridge :
         Am                      C                       G
But I remember us riding in my brother's car   Her body tan and wet down at
     F               Am                      C
the reservoir    At night on them banks I'd lie awake
               F                      C
And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
           F
Now those memories come back to haunt me
      C        G      Am
They haunt me like a curse
       Dm                                    C                F
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true    Or is it something worse

Chorus :
               Am          F                 G                C
That sends me down to the river   Though I know the river is dry
               Am          F       G   F
That sends me down to the river tonight
Am          F        G       C
Down to the river my baby and I
    Am          F        G  F
Oh down to the river we ride     Ooh..
