Down Where The River Bends Chords

  			
C                                 F 
It's hard to keep tears out of my eyes 

             C               G7 
For this may be our last goodbye 

                   C                  F 
Your country calls you to defend this land 

               C    G7          C   G7 
You’ll do your part just like a man 


     C               F 
Down where the river bends 

           C                G7 
With God's help we'll meet again 

          C                 F 
Under the same old sycamore tree 

              C     G7                  C 
Proud of each other and the land of the free 


                       F 
I go down to the ocean blue 

          C                 G7 
And be as close as I can to you 

                C                F 
Though this old ocean my keep us apart 

              C   G7             C     G7 
It can't keep you dear out of my heart 


     C               F 
Down where the river bends 

           C                G7 
With God's help we'll meet again 

          C                 F 
Under the same old sycamore tree 

              C     G7                  C 
Proud of each other and the land of the free 


                                                  F 
If the worst should happen and the poppies should wave 

          C              G7 
Over your far and lonely grave 

                   C                  F 
All the rest of my life I'll spend in prayer 

                 C      G7             C 
I'll meet you in heaven there's no war there 


     C               F 
Down where the river bends 

           C                G7 
With God's help we'll meet again 

          C                 F 
Under the same old sycamore tree 

              C     G7                  C 
Proud of each other and the land of the free
