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