Lyrics

Be on my side, I'll (A)be on your side,

baby; (Em7)there is no reason for (A)you to hide.

(Em7)It's so hard for me (A)staying here all alone

(Em7)when you could be taking me for a ride,

yeah, (Bm)yeah.

(Cmaj7)She could drag me (Bm)over the rainbow

(C)and send me away.

(G)Down (D)by the (A)river,

(G)I (D)shot my (A)baby.

(G)Down (D)by the (A)river, (Em7)dead,

(A)ooh,

(Em7)shot her dead.

(Em7)You take my hand, I'll (A)take your hand,

(Em7)together we may get (A)away.

(Em7)This much madness is too much sorrow,

it's impossible to (A)make it today,

(Cmaj7)yeah, oh, (Bm)oh, yeah.

(Cmaj7)She could drag me (Bm)over the rainbow

(C)and send me away.

(G)Down (D)by the (A)river,

(G)I (D)shot my (A)baby.

(G)Down (D)by the (A)river, (Em)dead,

(A)dead, ooh, (Em7)ooh,

shot her (A)dead,

shot her dead.

(A)river. (G)Down (D)by the (A)river,

(G)I (D)shot my (A)baby.

(G)Down (D)by the (A)river,

(G)I (D)shot my (A)baby.
