Verse 

F                 C 
I got a spot that I wanna take ya  
G                        Am         G 
When the sun sinks girl it will make ya  
F                            C          G 
Wonder why we don't go there every night  
F                    C                  
Where the wild black bears roam on for acres  
G                   Am          G 
Cat tails grow like sky scrapers  
F              C                   G 
I was thinking maybe we can take a ride  


F                 C 
Down by the river right by the water  
G                 Am        G 
Moon burning down making it hotter  
F                     C                G 
We can have it all to ourselves tonight  
F                                       C 
Where the world get small and stars get bigger  
G                         Am              G  
I'll hold you close as you start to shiver  
F            C            G  
Down Down Down Down by the river  


Instrumental: F C G  


Verse 

F              C 
Will pick up a six-pack of something  
G 
Walk down by where the water is running  
F                     C                   G 
Roll up our jeans and baby we can wade on in  
F          C 
Do alittle late night fishing  
G                 Am         G 
Starlight gazing, moonlight kissing  
F             C              G 
Out where the midnight never ends  
G 
Come on 


F                 C 
Down by the river right by the water  
G                 Am        G 
Moon burning down making it hotter  
F                     C                G 
We can have it all to ourselves tonight  
F                                       C 
Where the world get small and stars get bigger  
G                         Am              G  
I'll hold you close as you start to shiver  
F            C            G  
Down Down Down Down by the river

F                         Am                           G

F                     Am                            G  
There on a bank on a blank waiting for the stars to fall  


F                 C 
Down by the river right by the water  
G                 Am        G 
Moon burning down making it hotter

Down Down Down Down by the river
