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