    Em7                     A 
    Be on my side, I'll be on your side, 
    Em7                          A 
    there's no reason for you to hide. 
    Em7                       A 
    It's so hard for me, stayin' here all alone, 
    Em7                                       A                           Cmaj7        Bm 
    when you could be takin' me for a ride,     yeah. 
    Cmaj7                     Bm                        Cmaj7 
    She could drag me, over the rainbow, 
                         Bm           D 
    and send me away. 
    G        D        D    A      G  D          D     A 
    Down by the riv  er,      I  shot my ba   by. 
    G        D        D     A             Em7       A      Em7      A 
    Down by the riv   er,            dead. 

    Em7                      A 
    You take my hand, I'll take your hand. 
    Em7                     A 
    Together we may get away. 
    Em7                             A 
    This much madness is, too much sorrow. 
    Em7                     A                    Cmaj7       Bm 
    It's impossible to make it today. 
    Cmaj7                     Bm                       Cmaj7 
    She could drag me, over the rainbow, 
                         Bm          D 
    and send me away. 
    G        D        D   A    G   D          D     A 
    Down by the riv er,   I   shot my ba  by. 
    G        D        D      A             Em7      A     Em7     A 
    Down by the riv  er,             dead.
