I suggest capo at the 2nd fret, if your voice isn t as deep as Richard s.
Intro
Verse 1
Take me with you when you go, down to the river
It s the only place I know, where I can forgive her
Take me with you when you go
I m tired of living life on hold
Take me with you when you go
Chorus
Down to the river, Down to the river,
Down to the river, oh I know
Verse 2
Take a walk with me a while, it s quiet by the river
Oh, I know that she s gone, but I can s forget her
Take me with you when you go,
it s the only place I know
We lost the dreams that we once had
How did our lives turn out so bad?
Take me with you when you go
Chorus
Down to the river, down to the river,
Down to the river, oh I know
Down to the river, I can t forget her
I ll stay forever and watch it flow
Lead Instrumental
Bridge
Take me with you when you go, Lady s bridge is where we know
Now that our lives turned out so bad, we lost the dreams we once had
We can watch the river flow, and maybe make this city slow
Take me with you when you go
Chorus
Down to the river, down to the river,
down to the river, oh I know
Down to the river I can t forget her
I ll stay forever and watch it flow
Closing instrumental
Another great Richard Hawley song. He should be more popular!
