Verse 1
F
F
Some of us turn off the lights and we
live
Bb
Bb
In the moonlight shooting by
Some of us scare ourselves
F
F
to death in the dark
C
C
To be where the angels fly
F
F
Pretty maids all in a row lined up
Bb
Bb
Outside my cabin door
I've never wanted any
F
F
of them wanting me
Am
Am
Except the girl from the
C
C
Red River shore
F
F
Verse 2
Well, I sat by her side and for a while I tried
Bb
Bb
To make that girl my wife
She gave me her best
F
F
advice and she said
C
C
"Go home and lead a quiet life."
F
F
Well, I've been to the east
and I've been to the west
And I've been out where the
Bb
Bb
black winds roar
Somehow, though,
F
F
I never did get that far
C
C
With the girl from the Red River shore
F
F
Verse 3
C
C
F
F
Well, I knew when I first laid eyes on her
Bb
Bb
I could never be free
F
F
One look at her and I knew right away
C
C
She should always be with me
F
F
Well, the dream dried up
a long time ago
Bb
Bb
Don't know where it is anymore
F
F
True to life, true to me
C
C
Was the girl from the Red River shore
F
F
Verse 4
Now I'm wearing the
cloak of misery
Bb
Bb
And I've tasted jilted love
F
F
And the frozen smile upon my face
C
C
Fits me like a glove
F
F
But I can't escape from the memory
Bb
Bb
Of the one that I'll always adore
F
F
All those nights when I lay in the arms
Am
Am
C
C
Of the girl from the Red River shore
F
F
Verse 5
C
C
F
F
Well, we're living in the shadows
of a fading past
Bb
Bb
Trapped in the fires of time
F
F
I've tried not to ever hurt anybody
C
C
And to stay out of a life of crime
F
F
And when it's all been said and done
Bb
Bb
Gm
Gm
Bb
Bb
I never did know the score
F
F
One more day is another day away
C
C
From the girl from the Red River shore
F
F
Verse 6
Well, I'm a stranger here
in a strange land
But I know this is where I belong
Bb
Bb
I'll ramble and gamble
F
F
for the one I love
C
C
And the hills will give me a song
F
F
Though nothing looks familiar to me
I know I've stayed here before
Bb
Bb
F
F
Once, a thousand nights ago
C
C
With the girl from the Red River shore
F
F
Verse 7
Well, I went back to see about it once
Bb
Bb
Went back to straighten it out
Everybody that I talked to
F
F
had seen us there
Said they didn't know who
C
C
I was talking about
F
F
Well, the sun went down on
C
C
F
F
me a long time ago
Bb
Bb
I've had to fall back from the door
I wish I could have spent
F
F
every hour of my life
C
C
F
F
C
C
With the girl from the Red River shore
F
F
Verse 8
Now, I've heard of a guy who
lived a long time ago
Bb
Bb
A man full of sorrow and strife
Whenever someone around
F
F
him died and was dead
C
C
He knew how to bring 'em on back to life
F
F
Well, I don't know what
kind of language he used
Or if they do that kind of thing
Bb
Bb
anymore
Sometimes I think nobody
F
F
ever saw me here at all
C
C
F
F
C
C
Except the girl from the Red River
