G7           C7          F6
Just sitting down by the riverside,
G7           C7          F6
Spreading my arms to the open wide.
Gm        D7           A#            F
Now I am free and the world's at my feet
        C7        F
I can close my eyes.

Oh Lord, keep me warm, keep me satisfied
Please keep me calm, keep me pacified
Now I'm content and my life is complete
I can close my eyes

Am              C7             F  D7 C7 F6
Sitting by the riverside with you.

I love sitting down by the riverside
Watching the water go flowing by
Oh, golly gee, it is heaven to be
Like a willow tree

F
Spend my time just drinking wine while
 A#     Gm      F
looking at the view
