_ _ _ I [F#m] come from down [A] in the valley [E] where mister when [D] you're young _ [F#m] they bring you
up [A] to do _ [D] just like your daddy [A] done _ [D] me and Mary we met in high school [A] when she
was [C#m] just _ [F#m] 17 _ we ride [Bm] a valley _ [A] down the way the fields [D] were green _ _ we [Em] _ [F#m] go down to
the [D] _ river [E] _ _ _ we [A] dive [F#m] oh down to [D] the river [E] we'd ride _ _
[D] _ _ _ [F#m] then I got [A] Mary pregnant
_ the [E] man that was [D] all she _ ruled [F#m] and for my 19th [A] birthday I got a union [D] card and
a wedding [A] coat we [D] went down to the courthouse with a [A] [G#] judge put it [F#m] all to
risk _ _ [Bm] no one day smiles no walk down the aisle [A] no flowers no wedding [D] dress at
night [E] we [F#m] went down to [D] the river _ [E] into the river [A] we dive

[F#m] I got a job working [A] construction for [E] the
Johnstown [D] company _ _ [F#m] but lately there ain't [A] been no work on [D] account of the [A] economy
_ now [D] all them things that seem so important well [A] mister they just vanish
[E] right into [F#m] the air _ [Bm] I just act like I don't remember _ [A] and Mary acts like she [D] don't care
[F#m] but I remember riding [A] in my brother's car her [E] body tanned wet [D] down at the reservoir
[F#m] at night on those banks I [A] lie awake and [D] pull her clothes just to feel [A] every
breath she take now [D] those memories come back to haunt me
[A] they haunt [E] me [F#m] like a curse
[Bm] a dream a lie that don't come true
[A] or is it something [D] _ worse
that [F#m] sends me down to [D] the river
oh [E] I know the river [A] is dry
that [F#m] sends me down to _ [D] the river _ [E] tonight
