Down By The River   by Faron Young

C                   F         C

Down by the river   there's a tree

G7

Beneath it's branches  you promised me

          F                      C

Your love forever now that loves gone

F           C      G7      C

Down by the river  I'm all alone

                  F        C

Do you remember   that big tree

G7

The one we carved on  just you and me

            F                   C

That's only one thing  you left behind

F            C          G7             C

A heart with your name  carved next to mine

C                   F         C

Down by the river   there's a tree

G7

Beneath it's branches  you promised me

          F                      C

Your love forever now that loves gone

F           C      G7      C

Down by the river  I'm all alone

                 F      C

In early autumn  I have found

G7

The tree gets lonesome it's leaves turn brown

         F                                 C

And with each leaf that falls a tear falls too

F           C      G7           C

Down by the river  where I miss you

C                   F         C

Down by the river   there's a tree

G7

Beneath it's branches  you promised me

          F                      C

Your love forever now that loves gone

F           C      G7      C

Down by the river  I'm all alone
