[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ Some of us turn off the lights and we live in _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ _ [E] the moonlight that's shooting by
[A] _ And _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ [A] _ some of us give ourselves to death in the [E] dark _ to _ _ _ _ _ _ be where the angels _ [B] fly _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
Pretty maids all in a row lined _ up _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
outside my cabin _ [A]
door
_ _ I _ [E] _ _
[A] _ _ never wanted any of them [E] wanting me _ _ _ _ except a girl _ [B] from the Red River [E] Shore
I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ sat by her side for a while and I tried _ to _ _
[F#] _ _ _ [E] _ _ make that girl my [A] _ wife
_ [E]
She _ _ [A] _ _ gave me her best advice and she [E] said, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ just go home and lead a quiet [B] life _
_ _ _ _ Well I'm [E] into the East and I'm into the West _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [E]
Been out where the black _ [A] winds roar
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ Somehow I never did get [E] that far _ _ _ _
With a girl from [B] the Red River [E] Shore _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
When I first laid my eyes on her _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I could _ never [A] be _ free _
_ _ _ _ One look at her and I knew right [E] away _ _ _ she _ _ [E] _ _ _
would always be [B] with me _
Well _ that [E] dreamed right up a long time ago _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I don't know where it is _ [A] _ anymore
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _
True to life and true [E] to me
_ _ _ _ Was a girl from [B] the Red River [E]
Shore
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] Well [E] I'm wearing the cloak of misery _ _ _
I've _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ tasted _ _ jilted [A] _ _ love
And _ _ _ a frozen smile upon my [E] _ _ face _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Fits me like a _ [B] glove _ _ _ _
And [E] I can't escape from the memory
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ [E] _ Of the one I _ always [A] will _ adore _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ All those nights when I lay [E] in the _ arms _
_ Of the girl _ [B] from the Red River [E] Shore _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Well we're living in the shadows of a fading _ past _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Trapped [F#] in the [G#m] fires of _ time
_ _ _ _ I _ try not to ever hurt [E] _ anybody
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
And stay out of a life of _ [B] crime
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
And when it's all been said and done _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I never did know _ [A] _
the score
_ _ One _ _ more day is another [E] day away _ _ _ _
From the girl _ [B] from the Red River [E] Shore
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [B]
I'm a stranger here in a stranger land
_ [E] But _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I know this is where I [A] belong _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I'll [E] ramble and gamble for the one that I love _ _
_ _ _ The hills will give me a [B] song
_ _ _ Though _ _ [E] _ _ nothing looks familiar to me
_ I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ know I've stayed _ [A] here before _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Once a thousand [E] nights ago _ _
With the girl [B] from the Red River [E] Shore
_ Well _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I went back to see about her once _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Went back to straighten it [A] all out _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Everybody that I talked to [E] who had seen us there
_ _ Said they didn't know who I was [B] talking about
But _ _ _ _ [E] the sun went down on me a long time ago _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
I had [G#m] to pull back from the [A] door
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Wish I could have spent every hour [E] of my life
_ _ _ _ With the girl [B] from the Red [E] River Shore
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Now I've heard of a guy who lived a long time ago _
[B] A _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ man full of sorrow and [A] _
_ _ [E] _ strife
_ _ [A] _
If anyone _ _ around [E] him died and was dead
_ He _ knew how to bring them back [B] to life
_ [B] _ _ But I don't know [E] what kind of language that he used
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ If they do that kind of thing _
[A] anymore _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Sometimes I think nobody [E] ever saw me here at all _
Except the girl [B] from the Red River [E] Shore _ _ _ _ _ _
