Be on my side, I'll be on your side, baby,
                    A             Em7
there is no reason for you to hide.
                  A                       Em7
It's so hard for me stayin' here all alone
                          A            Cmaj7
when you could be takin' me for a ride,

  Bm
Yeah, yeah.

She could drag me over the rainbow
              Bm D
and send me away.

Chorus:
G     D      D A
Down by the river,
G   D      D A
I shot my baby.
G     D      D A
Down by the river,
Em7  A  Em7          A
dead, ooh, shot her dead.

You take my hand, I'll take your hand
Together we may get away
This much madness is too much sorrow
It's impossible to make it today

(Ooh la la lah la la lala) Yeah, ooh, yeah
(Ooh la la lah la la lala)
She could drag me over the rainbow
(Ooh la la lah la la lala)
And send me away, yeah

Chorus:
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river
Dead, dead, ooh
Ooh, shot her dead
Shot her dead

Be on my side, I'll be on your side
There is no reason for you to hide
It's so hard for me staying here all alone
When you could be taking me for a ride

(Ooh la la lah la la lala) Ooh, yeah
(Ooh la la lah la la lala)
She could drag me over the rainbow
(Ooh la la lah la la lala)
And send me away, yeah

Chorus:
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river
