Down To The River

G Am C G G Am Now me and some buddies were down by the river C C G there were drinkers and dopers and abstainers by choice G Am there was red wine and white lines, blue smoke and good times D C G but when we all sang, we had us one voice, D C G Singing let's all go down to the river at midnight D C G we'll swim muddy waters n' pick us a tune D Am Em D and we won't give a damn if it's rock, folk, country or blues G Am well the sirens were screamin, the blue lights a flashin C C G I got me a ride in a humorless car G Am they read me my rights and they sensed my conviction D C G they said, "You shall be released when we know what you are." G Am Well the kangaroo court was now in session C C G Exhibit A was a blaring radio G Am they said, "Son, is it clear what is to be expected?" D C G I said, "Sir, your music ain't got no soul" D C G So let's all go down to the river at midnight D C G we'll swim muddy waters n' pick us a tune D Am Em D and we won't give a damn if it's rock, folk, country or blues C G D C G D C G G Am C C G G Am D C G G Am Now, Woody fed Ramblin some old hobo chili C C G and Ramblin fed Dylan 'neath a banana tree G Am and Guy and Townes made a stew down in Texas D C G and brought the whole hog down to Tennessee, hey D C G Hey let's all go down to the river at midnight D C G we'll swim muddy waters n' pick us a tune D Am Em D and we won't give a damn if it's rock, folk, country or blues D C G Let's all go down to the river at midnight D C G we'll swim muddy waters n' pick us a tune D Am Em D and we won't give a damn if it's rock, folk, country or blues C G G Am C C G G Am D C G let's all go G Am C C G down let's all go G Am D C G down to the river peace - WheezyE
