D        F#m         G
Meet me down by the river
D        F#m         G
Meet me down by the sea
D                    F#m      G
Hours and hours, and days go by
       D             F#m   G
It's still a new way for me

Bm          A                  D       G
I love the way your hair blows in the wind
Bm          A          F#m           G
I love the feel of my skin on your skin
Bm           A                 D           G
Don't ever change, don't ever fall by the way

Chorus:
            A                    Bm
Cause I'll meet you down by the water
  G         D
Again some day
            A                    Bm
Yes, I'll meet you down by the water
  G         D
Again some day

I tried to call you but you didn't hear
Darkened feeling what you're doing here
Where's your baby? Where's your girl?
Out in the water, out in the world

I love the way your hair blows in the wind
I love the feel of my skin on your skin
Don't ever change, don't ever fall by the way

Chorus

G                        D
Wait for me down in the water
G                        D    A
Wait for me down in the water
G                        Bm
Wait for me down in the water
G                        D
Wait for me down in the water

Chorus:
            A                    Bm
Cause I'll meet you down by the water
  G         D
Again some day
            A                    Bm
Yes, I'll meet you down by the water
  G         D
Again some day
            A                    Bm
Yes, I'll meet you down by the water
  G         D
Again some day
