Away Down the River    
Alison Krauss 
 fret 
C            F       C                 F 
Baby dry your eyes   There's no need to cry 
C                  Am 
Cause I'll see you again   
C                              F          
It might be a while Before you understand 
 
F 
I'm just away down the river   
C 
A hundred miles or more 
Ab(one note- 4th fret ?bass E string)     G7            
Crossing over Jordan        To the other shore 
F                        C                      Fm7 
I'll be standing waiting  With all who've gone before 
     C                  Am    G                 C 
I'm just away down the river  A hundred miles or more 
 
Now the pictures on the wall  Will help you to recall 
They're not there  To make you sad 
But to remember   All the good times we had 
 
(Chorus) 
 
(Instrumental) 
 
When it's time to leave  You're gonna feel the mountain breeze 
And the snow will fill the stream  And carry you to me 
 
(Chorus)
