This is one of the best song I know so far. Besides it's very easy (at least the rhythm guitar, singing simutaneously might be more difficult)! The G is played at the 3rd fret and you slide into the F played at the first fret, everytime you have a G followed by an F. You really have to listen to the CD for the rhythm of the voice. I thought about putting the chords right where they are sung, but somehow this made the appearance of the file even worse, so I aligned them to the words, which is not exactly the way they are sung, but much easier to visualize. You'll get it anyway, I guess.
G F C C G F C C G F Down by the Riverside, well there's a place for me C C Where I won't sit and think about where I'd rather be G F and I don't need nothing C C but the look on my face G(stop) It's all bullshit F(stop) D C(stop) It's just the time it takes between G D where it comes and where it
C You can go swimming, no sign of rainstorms or F thunder I won't be joining you C because today between the time it's taking F C(stop) me to wonder I just might get sucked under
single note riff: g a# c d#^c
e-I----------------------I h-I---------------po-----I g-I----------5~~~-8^5~~--I d-I----5--8--------------I A-I----------------------I E-I----------------------I
G F C C Down by the ocean, it's all behind me it's just an open sea, G F and I can really see for miles C C I wish I knew just what I was looking for G(stop) F(stop) D A pool of endless rhymes, I ain't talking 'bout the water C(stop) G D We're talking time, where it comes and where it yeah
C F You can go swimming, there's been no warning of hurricane C or tidal wave, ain't no dangerous fish out there F I won't be joining you still C It's just a feeling in me I get washed out to the sea
C(sus2)Yeah the sea
D D Am Am fooling around with Dsus2, Dsus4, D D Am Am(stop) Am7 and Amsus2 sounds nice if you're playing alone (i.e. without band)
D I wish I could go 'cause you know C that the water doesn't usually frighten me so F It's not the depth of the sea that infatuates me G It's what remains to be seen, like the time in between D F where it comes and where it goes D F C(stop) riff where it goes yeah
G F Down in a creekbed in my old neighbourhood C C there is a trickle that's dirty and warm G F and I have spend many a childhood hour there C C It's where I used to play, seems like yesterday G F But I was younger then, just make believing C C making wishes and tossing pennies in G(stop) F(stop) and now I've grown, haven't changed my tone, D C F just getting stoned and ain't pretending that I know
C F You can go swimming though it's only a trickle there C and the floodgates haven't worked for years F I won't be joining you, no, I wish I could go
but I C F and I C F You can go swimming
