Down by the riverside (midi)

D

1. I met my little bright-eyed doll, (down) down by the riverside,

- A D

(down) down by the riverside, (way down) down by the riverside.

I met my little bright-eyed doll, (down) down by the riverside,

A A7 D

down by the riverside.

She said, "Have patience, little man, I'm sure you'll understand,

A A7 D - D7

I hardly know your name !"

G Gm D Bm

I said, "If I can have my way, maybe some sweet day,

A A7 D

my name and yours will be the same."

2. And I asked her for a little kiss, (way down) down by the riverside,

A - D

(down, down) down by the riverside, (down) down by the riverside.

I asked her for a little kiss, (way down) down by the riverside,

A A7 D

down by the riverside. + CHORUS

3. I wed my little bright-eyed doll, (way down) down by the riverside,

A D

(way down) down by the riverside, (way down) down by the riverside.

I wed my little bright-eyed doll, (down) down by the riverside,

A A7 D

down by the riverside. + CHORUS

(midi = capo 3rd)
