[Verse]
EDown by the river
B7The water’s cold
E Ddim7 A AmUsed to have a girl but that’s alright
E C#m CShe came to me in a dream
B7 E B7 E B7And slipped away like a running stream
EThe hours of silence
B7In the light of the moon
E Ddim7 A AmBrings to me a sense of ease
E C#m CThere’s nothing else that I could do
B7 E B7 E B7For that woman won't be pleased
C#mI see her running
BBut I’m not the same
AI’ve chased after pleasure
E E7To bury my pain
C#mBut it’s resurrected
BWhen I say her name
A EMy love and regret are one in the same
EThe scream of a raven
B7The screech of an owl
E Ddim7 A AmA heartbroke and lonesome coyote howl
E C#m CThose old Hartford records that we used to play
B7 E B7 E B7And the silence when she went away
E B7A flower illustrated in bloom
EFloating on a wisp of consciousness
Ddim7 AShe rides innocently down the river to
AmThe place where the light lives
E C#mAnd shrugs off enchantment with a sigh
CDreaming from the first moment of her life
B7 EUnheard songs bathed in silver ring out as
B7 EMorning rolls into the endless
C#mI see her running
BBut I’m not the same
AI’ve chased after pleasure
ETo bury my pain
C#mBut it’s resurrected
BWhen I say her name
A E E7My love and regret are one in the same
EI keep wandering back
B7To a place in my mind
E Ddim7 A AmWhere moonlight reflections return to her eyes
E C#m CTo gaze at the water once more
B7 E B7 E B7Before turning again to the sky
EDown by the river
B7The water’s cold
E Ddim7 A AmUsed to have a girl but that’s alright
E C#m CShe came to me in a dream
B7 E B7 E B7 EAnd slipped away like a running stream
