IntroEm | G | C | GEmGCG
In the tallgrass we held hands
EmGC
Down by the river we made plans
EmGCG
Of what would and would not be
EmGC
Was impossible to see
Em | G | C | G | Em | G | C |
EmGCG
The black boots shown in the sun
EmGC
We we're waiting on the Anondale train for my baby to come
EmGCG
Little girl with the long black hair
EmGC
Do you know what lies 'neath the long coats that they wear?
EmGCG
Once I swore you'd ride with me (to ride distant shores)
EmGC
And where this river meets the sea (to make you mine forever more)
EmGCG
Over these dark hills I walk alone (I still hold you in my arms)
EmGC
To lie with you on a bed of stone
Em | G | C | G | Em | G | C |
EmGCG
River blood red with the years
EmGC
You can flood this valley with a thousand tears
EmGC
Wash away all that's been found
EmGC
But you'll never wash the sound
EmGC
Of the stray bullet that shot my baby down
EmGC
Of the stray bullet that shot my baby down
EmGC
Of the stray bullet that shot my baby down
