------------Down By The Riverside------------
                Mason Jennings

Tabbed by: George O.
Tuning: Standard (Mason played this on piano but it sounds good on guitar, too)

Mason did an awesome version of this song.
I know he played it at First Ave on 12/10/05, but he probably played it other times too.
Please let me know any corrections.
