Standard tuning
 
[Intro]
Am  C  Em  Dsus2
 
Am  C  Em  Dsus2  Am
 
[Verse 1]
Am                 C
Down by the river, by the boats
      Em                 Dsus2
Where everybody goes to be alone
Am                      C
Where you won't see any rising sun
Em                 Dsus2         Am
Down to the river we will run______
 
[Verse 2]
Am                   C
When by the water we drink to the dregs
Em                        Dsus2
Look at the stones on the riverbed
Am         C
I can tell from your eyes
Em                       Dsus2        Am
You've never been by the riverside______
 
[Verse 3]
Am                    C
Down by the water the riverbed
Em                      Dsus2
Somebody calls you, somebody says
Am                       C
Swim with the current and float away
Em                 Dsus2       Am
Down by the river e-veryday______
 
[Chorus]
   Am    Em      G        Dsus2          Am          Em    G
   Oh my God,  I see  how everything is torn  in the river deep
  Fmaj7           Am    Em      G    Dsus2 F    G         Am
And I don't know why  I go  the way  down  by   the riverside
 
[Verse 4]
Am                       C
When that old river runs past your eyes
   Em                       Dsus2
To wash off the dirt on the riverside
Am                 C
Go to the water so very near
    Em                  Dsus2           Am
The river will be your eyes and ears______
 
[Verse 5]
  Am                  C
I walk to the borders on my own
Em                     Dsus2
Fall in the water just like a stone
Am                    C
Chilled to the marrow in them bones
Em                Dsus2        Am
Why do I go here all alone?______
 
[Chorus]
   Am    Em      G        Dsus2          Am          Em    G
   Oh my God,  I see  how everything is torn  in the river deep
  Fmaj7           Am    Em      G    Dsus2 F    G         Am
And I don't know why  I go  the way  down  by   the riverside
         Em      G        Dsus2          Am          Em    G
   Oh my God,  I see  how everything is torn  in the river deep
  Fmaj7           Am    Em      G    Dsus2 F    G         Am
And I don't know why  I go  the way  down  by   the riverside
 
[Outro]
Am           C      Em  G
Oh, oh, (Ooh Ooh) I___
Am           C      Em  D
Oh, oh, (Ooh Ooh) I___
Am           C      Em  G
Oh, oh, (Ooh Ooh) I___
Dsus2 F    G         Am
Down  by   the riverside
Dsus2 F    G         Am
Down  by   the riverside

love the tab, think its better than the other. only suggestion i'd make is that there should be a G major between the last F and Am of the chorus, sounds more accurate I think! Well Done!!

Thanks. You're right, there's something there between the last F and Am of the chorus, but idk if it's a G major or what. Sounds like the bass note is still F, but it's hard to hear.
