[Intro]
Em    A        Em    A
 
[Verse 1]
Em                      A              Em                      A
    Be on my side, I'll be on your side, there is no reason for you to hide
Em                     A                      Em                         A
    It's so hard for me staying here all alone, when you could be taking me for a ride

C       Bm   C                     Bm               C          Bm   D
                  She could drag me over the rainbow, send me away
 
{ CHORUS }
G      D      A       G   D       A
  Down by the river,    I shot my baby
G      D      A        Em     A        Em    A
  Down by the river...   dead
 
[Verse 2]
Em                   A                   Em                     A
    You take my hand, I'll take your hand, together we may get away
Em                      A               Em                   A
    This much madness is too much sorrow, it's impossible to make it today
 
[Pre-Chorus]
C       Bm   C                     Bm               C              Bm   D
                  She could drag me over the rainbow, and send me away

  Down by the river,    I shot my baby

  Down by the river

Em                     A                      Em                         A          C       Bm
    It's so hard for me staying here all alone, when you could be taking me for a ride
