This is my first tab so i dont really know how to do this correctly, but im pretty sure 
is how dave plays it with tim on Radio City.

Em7                A
Be on my side, Ill be on your side, baby
Em7                 A
There is no reason for you to hide
Em7                 A
Its so hard for me staying here all alone
Em7                      A              C        Bm
When you could be taking me for a ride.

When playing these chords, i tend to take hammer the third fret on the third string for 
and second fret fourth string for Em7

Chorus
C                Bm                 C       Bm       
D
She could drag me over the rainbow, take me away
G     D      A  G
Down by the river
G   D      A  G
I shot my baby
G    D       A   G    A
Down by the river,  Dead


Em7              A
You take my hand, Ill take your hand
Em7              A
Together we may get away
Em7              A
This much madness is too much sorrow
Em7              A              C   Bm
Its impossible to make it today.

C                Bm                 C       Bm       
D
She could drag me over the rainbow, take me away
G     D      A  G
Down by the river
G   D      A  G
I shot my baby
G    D       A   G    A
Down by the river,  Dead


Em7              A
Be on my side, Ill be on your side, baby
Em7               A
There is no reason for you to hide
Em7              A
Its so hard for me staying here all alone
Em7              A
When you could be taking me for a ride.

Down by the river,  Dead
