Some of us turn off the lights and we

In the moonlight shooting by

to death in the dark

To be where the angels fly

Pretty maids all in a row lined up

Outside my cabin door
I've never wanted any

of them wanting me

Except the girl from the

Verse 2
Well, I sat by her side and for a while I tried

To make that girl my wife
She gave me her best

advice and she said
Ab

"Go home and lead a quiet life."
Db

Well, I've been to the east
and I've been to the west
And I've been out where the

Was the girl from the Red River shore

Verse 4
Now I'm wearing the
cloak of misery
Gb

And I've tasted jilted love
Db
Db
And the frozen smile upon my face
Ab

Fits me like a glove
Db

But I can't escape from the memory
Gb

Of the one that I'll always adore

All those nights when I lay in the arms

Well, we're living in the shadows
of a fading past
Gb

Trapped in the fires of time

And to stay out of a life of crime
Db
Db
And when it's all been said and done
Gb

Verse 6
Well, I'm a stranger here
in a strange land
But I know this is where I belong
Gb

I'll ramble and gamble
Db

for the one I love
Ab

And the hills will give me a song
Db

Though nothing looks familiar to me
I know I've stayed here before
Gb

Once, a thousand nights ago
Ab

With the girl from the Red River shore

Well, I went back to see about it once
Gb

Went back to straighten it out
Everybody that I talked to

had seen us there
Said they didn't know who
Ab

I was talking about
Db
Db
Well, the sun went down on
Ab
Ab
Db

me a long time ago

I've had to fall back from the door
I wish I could have spent

every hour of my life
Ab

With the girl from the Red River shore

Verse 8
Now, I've heard of a guy who
lived a long time ago
Gb
Gb
A man full of sorrow and strife
Whenever someone around
Db
Db
him died and was dead
Ab
Ab
He knew how to bring 'em on back to life
Db
Db
Well, I don't know what
kind of language he used
Or if they do that kind of thing
Gb
Gb
anymore
Sometimes I think nobody
Db
Db
ever saw me here at all
Ab

Except the girl from the Red River
