Down By The River Ukulele Chords

D[F]o you remember, you took my ha[F]nd, 
And we walked out across the fie[G]lds, 
Down the lane and over the railway li[F]ne
Our hearts were racing, our fe[F}et were chasing, 
We were looking for a hideaway, get[G]ting lost and losing track of ti[F]me

W[F]e went down by the river, we went do[F]wn by the river
Where the wa[G]ter ran slow, that’s where we let our lovin’ run fr[F]ee. 
We went down by the river, we went do[F]wn by the river
Just la[G]yin’ low, my true love and m[F]e

Y[F]ou let your long brown hair hang do[F]wn
You saw your dress was swayin’ in the bre[G]eze
We were skimmin’ stones out across the stre[F]am
You had a lazy style and a care[F]free smile 
You were a breathless beauty to be[G]hold 
The sweetest sight my eyes had ever se[F]en

W[F]e went down by the river, we went do[F]wn by the river
Where the wa[G]ter ran slow, that’s where we let our lovin’ run fr[F]ee. 
We went down by the river, we went do[F]wn by the river
Just la[G]yin’ low, my true love and m[F]e

T[F]he water’s risin’, the stream’s divi[F]ding 
The river keeps rollin’ o[G]n
Pa[F]per boats and pleasures drift aw[F]ay
And you may be just a me[G]mory
But you’re shining like a distant st[F]ar
That se[F]ems to me as cle[G]ar as yester[F]day

W[F]e went down by the river, we went do[F]wn by the river
Where the wa[G]ter ran slow, that’s where we let our lovin’ run fr[F]ee. 
We went down by the river, we went do[F]wn by the river
Just la[G]yin’ low, my true love and m[F]e
