Down By The River Where People Gather
By Kim Beggs Key C (capo 5 G shape)

Feel like I’m walking in a battlefield
In a dark and frigid winter’s deal
The weather here is hot and cold
Ripples through like a secret sold

Down by the river where people gather
Telling each other how it was
Telling one another how it is
Oh baby, it’s not about the shape I’m in

Somebody carries an old guitar
Broken string, it doesn’t matter
Cause all that matters is we belong
Play that old song, we can sing along

Down by the river where people gather
Telling each other how it was
Telling one another how it is
Oh baby, it’s not about the shape I’m in

1 5/4 1

Harmony splashing off a washboard
Dark stars shine out of discord
Not burning out in the shadows
Standing up and standing out

Down by the river where people gather
Telling each other how it was
Telling one another how it is
Oh baby, it’s not about the shape I’m in
Oh baby, it’s not about the shape I’m in
Oh baby 4 1 1
