The Seekers - Down by the Riverside: (HQ Stereo, 1968) chords
Start Jamming...
At the age of 14, Judith Durham had ambitions to be an opera singer, but this was not to be.
She became interested in [D] traditional jazz and gospel singing, [G]
and this early [N] experience played an important part in establishing the Seekers' sound.
The jazz influence is still a strong element in their performance today.
I feel so bad in the [C] morning
I feel so bad in the [E] middle of the day
I [C] feel so bad in [F] the evening
That's why I'm [C] going to the [E] river
[C] To wash my sins [G] away
I'm gonna lay down my heavy load
Down by the [G] riverside
Down by the [C] riverside
Down by the riverside
I'm gonna lay down my heavy load
Down by the [G] riverside
I ain't gonna study [C] war no more
And I [F] ain't gonna study war no more
[C] Ain't gonna study war no more
[G] I ain't gonna study [C] war no more
No, [F] I ain't gonna study war no more
[C] Ain't gonna study war no more
[G] I ain't gonna study [C] war no more
Well, I'm gonna lay down my heavy load
Down by the [G] riverside
Down by the [C] riverside
Down by the riverside
I ain't gonna study war
[G] [C] no more
Ain't gonna study war no more
[G] I ain't gonna study war [C] no more
Ain't [F] gonna study war [C] no more
Ain't [G] gonna study war no more
I ain't gonna study war no more
