Em7                   A                     
Be on my side, I'll be on your side, baby,
Em7                      A
There is no reason for you to hide    
Em7              A                         
It's so hard for me stay'in here all alone,   
Em7                       A         Cmaj7  Bm
When you could be takin' me for a ride 
Cmaj7             Bm               C
She could drag me over the rainbow, and
       [Bm  D]
Send me away

Down by the river,   I shot my baby

Down by the river, dead, ooh,  shot her

Together we may get away  
Em7                    A               
This much madness is too much sorrow,
Em7                    A         Cmaj7   Bm
It's impossible to make it today 
Cmaj7              Bm              C
She could drag me over the rainbow, and send 
[Bm  D]
me away

Down by the river,   I shot my baby

Down by the river, dead, ooh,  shot her dead

There is no reason for you to hide

It's so hard for me stay'in here all alone,

She could drag me over the rainbow, and send me 
[Bm  D]
