VERSE 1: 
C 
Ginger worked in a cafe small town in Tennessee 
F                         G 
The cook Joe was a little slow 
F                                            G  
But he kept the floor mopped and the kitchen clean 
C 
Two young people in an old fashioned town 
F                           G  
they got together when the cafe closed 
F                   G 
And the Tennessee moon came out 
 
F 
They drove down to the river 
C 
He looked her dead in the eyes 
Dm7      F                  C 
He could feel her trembling hands 
F 
They made love by the river 
C 
And they held o tight 
Dm7      F             C 
To those memory making nights  
 
VERSE 2: 
C 
It happened in the winter after the cafe closed 
F            G 
Ginger had a change of heart 
F                   G  
She'd fallen out of love with Joe 
C       
Tired of the cafe Life didn't seem right 
F                           G                   
She was getting out of that no where town  
F                      G         
She planned on leaving Joe that night 
 
 
CHORUS: 
F 
They drove down to the river
