Pat Green - Down To The River Chords

[Verse]
G
Take me down to the river
				     D
Where I can hold your body close to mine
	C		D
We'd listen to the rhythm
      C		     D
Of that old water rollin
	    C		    D		  G
You can stay with me until the morning light
G
I found you in a Louisiana roadside park
					D
Beat up, broke down no place left to turn
   C		       D	      C     D
I took you back to Texas under a harvest moon
       C		    D        G
We found a little place to call our own
G
We shared all the hopes and dreams of our younger years
				     D
Married at the tender age of twenty-one
C		     D	         C		  D
Rollin' down the highways, dirt roads and the byways
C			    D		G
Would you like to drive so I would go shotgun

[Chorus]
G
We'd go down to the river
					 D
Where I could hold your body close to mine
	C	      D
We'd listen to the rhythm
      C		     D
Of that old water rollin
	   C		    D		G
You can stay with me until the morning light
G
Somewhere through the year somebody turned your head
					 D
And has taken my sweet love so far from me
	    C			D
Yeah he swept you off to Boulder
	      C			D
Where the air it gets much colder
		C		 D	    G
Than this southern boy would ever like to see
G
I think of calling you on lonely nights
				  D
When being alone gets the best of me
	    C			D
Yeah but this here whiskey bottle
        C           D
Will take me to a place
C		 D	    G
Where you and I will always be

[Chorus]
	 A
When you came back home everybody said I was a fool
                                                              E
'Cause I took you back without a word to say
       D			E		D		E
But I couldn't go on living thinkin' about all I was missin'
	D			   E	           A
And I don?t give a damn about what those people say.

[Chorus]
	     A
We'd go down to the river
                                                             E
Where I could hold your body close to mine
	D	      E
We'd listen to the rhythm
      D		     E
Of that old water rollin
	   D		    E		     A
You can stay with me until the morning light
	A
I wanna go down to the river
	   A
Take me down to the river
	A
I wanna go down to the river

[Outro]
