Down By The River by Faron Young

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
