one verse...

(Barry Mann - Larry Kolber)
Intro:
Ab7 [xx4114]

Down by the river that flows by the coalyards

Patches, my darling, of old Shantytown

I couldn't wait to make Patches my bride
D F#m G D/A
Now I don't see how that ever can happen

My folks say no and my heart breaks inside
Chorus 1:
D A/G A7 [the A/G is probably a mistake]
Patches, oh what can I do

So my folks won't let me love you

I hear a neighbor telling my father

Floating face down in that dirty old river
E B7 E
That flows by the coalyards in old Shantytown
Chorus 2:
E B
Patches, oh what can I do
A E
I swear I'll always love you
A E C#m
It may not be right but I'll join you tonight
E [N.C.]
Patches, I'm comin' to you
