Down By The River O

Biografia:

Rev Hammer regards his music not so much as a passport to fame and fortune but as a ticket to ride. He learned to play guitar and sing at the same time and wisely thought busking was the best way to get to a standard where he could play publicly. Rev spent 18 months busking in the streets before he dared stand on a stage.

Rev's debut album "Industrial Sound and Magic" was recorded in a cow shed in Essex on a budget of nothing but, given that that the backing band (which gave its services for free) was The Levellers

Quatro anos de trabalho duro!

Down By The River O’ by Rev Hammer, featuring The Levellers as backing.
My first submission to UG. Quite a simple foot-stomping song to play. Hope you enjoy it!

Verse 1

Dm
Well we left the city and the fourteenth floor
Am C Dm
We went down by the river o Joe
Dm
Though then we never knew what we were travelling for
Am C Dm
We went down by the river o Joe
Dm
Thirty miles to a place that we had not seen
Am C
Where the land lies flat and the wind blows keen
Dm
It was the prettiest place I’ve ever been,
Am C Dm
Down by the river o Joe.

Verse 2

Dm
Well my dad got a job under the factory law
Am C Dm
We went down by the river o Joe
Dm
With a house for his kids and so much more
Am C Dm
We went down by the river o Joe
Dm
It was through the door, through the gate
Am C
There was me and my brother and a new-found mate
Dm
Under the mother-moon ‘till it got late,
Am C Dm
We stayed Down by the river o Joe.

Chorus
Dm
I said the River o’ the River o’ the River o’ Joe,
Am C Dm
The River ain’t never for sale,
Dm
I said I was born by the River o’ Joe,
Am C Dm
And the River ain’t a-never for sale,
Dm
Well you can make your deals in the dead of night
Am C
You can bribe who the bloody hell you like,
Dm Am C Dm
But I was born by the River o’ Joe and the river ain’t never for sale.

Verse 3
Dm
Now they say one time for a week it poured,
Am C Dm
Down by the River o’ Joe,
Dm
‘Till all you could hear was a pounding roar,
Am C Dm
Down by the River o’ Joe,
Dm
They tried to save the church with sand and bags,
Am C
But that River kept rising ‘till it burst it’s banks,
Dm
And a-pretty soon that street got sank,
Am C Dm
Down by the River o’ Joe.

Chorus
Dm
I said the River o’ the River o’ the River o’ Joe,
Am C Dm
The River ain’t never for sale,
Dm
I said I was born by the River o’ Joe,
Am C Dm
And the River ain’t a-never for sale,
Dm
Well you can make your deals in the dead of night
Am C
You can bribe who the bloody hell you like,
Dm Am C Dm
But I was born by the River o’ Joe and the river ain’t never for sale.

Verse 4
Dm
Now many warm days and good times there are,
Am C Dm
Down by the River o’ Joe
Dm
And people will travel from miles about to go
Am C Dm
Down by the River o’ Joe,
Dm
But the locals still speak of the endless rain,
Am C
The revenge of the muddy tides again,
Dm
To the developers who would bring change,
Am C Dm
Down by the river o’ Joe.

Chorus
Dm
I said the River o’ the River o’ the River o’ Joe,
Am C Dm
The River ain’t never for sale,
Dm
I said I was born by the River o’ Joe,
Am C Dm
And the River ain’t a-never for sale,
Dm
Well you can make your deals in the dead of night
Am C
You can bribe who the bloody hell you like,
Dm Am C Dm
But I was born by the River o’ Joe and the river ain’t never for sale.
