[Em] I come from down [Em] in a valley [D] where my stew and you were [C] young
[Em] They bring you [Bm] up to do just [C] like your daddy [Bm] done
Oh [C] me and Mary we met in high school [Bm] and she was [Am] just seventeen
[C] We rode out of this valley in the weather fields of green
We go [Em] down [C] to the river [D] and into the river [Bm] we dive
Oh down to [C] the river [D] we ride
[Bm] And our girl [G] Mary pregnant and [D]
man that was [C] old she rode
For [Bm] my [G] nineteenth birthday I [C] got a union card and a wedding [A] coat
[C] We went down to the courthouse when [G] the judge put it all to [Em] rest
[Am] No wedding day smiles, no walk down the [G] aisle, no flowers or [C] wedding dress
That night [Em] we went down to [C] the river [D] and into the river [G] we dived
Oh [Em] down [C] to the river [D] we'd ride

[C] [Em] I got a job working construction for the Johnstown [C] Company
[Bm] Well lately there ain't been much work [C] on account of the economy
All them things that seemed so important, [G] well mister they vanished right into [C] the air
Now I [Am] just act like I don't remember and [G] Mary acts like she don't [C] care
But I [E] remember us riding [G] in my brother's [D] car, her body tandemed down at the reservoir
[Em] Not on a [D] bankside line of wake, [C] I'd pull her close just to feel [G] each breath she'd taken
Those [C] memories come back to haunt me, yeah they haunt me [F#m] like a curse
[Am] Is a dream a lie if it's not true [A] or is it something [C] worse that sends [Bm] me down
Down to [C] the river [D] and into the river we'd dive
