[Intro]
Em*  Em*

[Verse 1]
Em                         Asus2             Asus4
Slow train on the trestle, passing overhead
                                                       Em*
Cold campfire and an army blanket where I last laid my head
    Em                               Asus2                  Asus4
And I got tobacco and I got bread to get me to Morgan-town
                                                          Em         Em7
Gotta put a little distance between us but I think I'm losing ground

[Chorus]
Em    Em/G   Em   G  Asus2         Em
 Down by the river,  so green it's blue
            Em  G  Asus2            Em*
Down by the river, I'm sure missing you

[Verse 2]
          Em                                Asus2                    Asus4
Well, the mine's closed you turned cold and I couldn't make you stay
                                                  Em*
The more I tried to hold on, the more you turned away
Em                              Asus2                   Asus4
Guess I coulda done better than fish and drink and mine
                                                    Em    Em7
Tell me how things get tougher, all I know is tough times

[Chorus]
Em    Em/G   Em   G  Asus2         Em
 Down by the river,  so green it's blue
            Em  G  Asus2            Em*
Down by the river, I'm sure missing you

[Verse 3]
Em                     Asus2                     Asus4
I ran into your daddy, he's out running his line
                                                           Em*
Gave me a beer in a blue can, said I oughta come visit sometime
Em                      Asus2             Asus4
Rain crows cottonmouth, catfish and cane
                                                     Em    Em7
Your name is on my every breath, your blood is in my veins

[Chorus]
Em    Em/G   Em   G  Asus2         Em
 Down by the river,  so green it's blue
            Em  G  Asus2            Em  Em7
Down by the river, I'm sure missing you
Em    Em/G   Em   G  Asus2         Em
 Down by the river,  so green it's blue
            Em  G  Asus2            Em*
Down by the river, I'm sure missing you
