Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[G]Dow[C]n by the river
that [F]flows by the [C]courtyards
Stand wooden houses
with [F]shutters torn [G]down
[C]There lives a [Em]girl every[F]body calls
[C]Patches
Patches, my darlin' of
[G]old [C]Shadytown[Ab]
[Db]We planned to marry
when [Gb]June brought the [Db]summer
I couldn't wait to make [Gb]patches my [Ab]bride
Now [Db]I don't se[Fm]e how
that [Gb]ever can [Db]happen
My folks say no
and my [Ab]heart breaks in[Db]side
Patches of [Ab]what can I do?
[Gb]I swear I'll alw[Db]ays love you
But a [Gb]girl from that place
will just [Db]bring me disgrace
[Bbm]So my fol[Db]ks won't
[Ab]let me love [Db]you[A]
[D]Each night I cry as I [G]think of that [D]shanty
And pretty patches,
they're [G]watchin' the [A]door
She [D]doesn't [F#m]know that I c[G]an
't come to [D]see her
Patches must think that I [A]love her no [D]more[Bb]
[Eb]I hear a neighbor te[Ab]lling my fat[Eb]her
He says a girl named
[Ab]Apaches was [Bb]found
Float[Eb]ing face [Gm]down in that d[Ab]irty old r[Eb]iver
That flows by the coal yards
in [Bb]Ol' Sheety [Eb]Town
Patches, oh [Bb]what can I do?
[Ab]I swear I'll al [Eb]ways love you
It [Ab]may not be right,
but I'll [Eb]join you tonight
[Cm]Hatches, [Eb]I'm comin[Bb]g to you[Eb]
