1]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch]\r\nSome of us turn off the lights and we live[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]F[/ch]\r\nAnd the moonlight shooting by[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch]\r\nSome of us scare ourselves to death in the dark[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C/G[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]\r\nTo be where the angels fly[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch]\r\nPretty maids all in a row lined up[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]F[/ch]\r\nOutside my cabin door[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch]\r\nI've never wanted any of them wanting me[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch]\r\nExcept the girl from the Red River Shore[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Verse 2]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch]\r\nWell, I sat by her side and for a while I tried[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]F[/ch]\r\nTo make that girl my wife[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch]\r\nShe gave me her best advice and she said[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C/G[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]\r\nGo home and lead a quiet life[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch]\r\nWell, I been to the east and I been to the west[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]F[/ch]\r\nAnd I been out where the black winds roar[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch]\r\nSomehow though I never did get that far[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch]\r\nWith the girl from the Red River Shore[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Verse 3]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch]\r\nWell, I knew when I first laid eyes on her[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]F[/ch]\r\nI could never be free[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch]\r\nOne look at her and I knew right away[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C/G[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]\r\nShe should always be with me[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch]\r\nWell, the dream dried up a long time ago[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]F[/ch]\r\nDon't know where it is anymore[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch]\r\nTrue to life, true to me[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch]\r\nWas the girl from the Red River Shore[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Verse 4]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch]\r\nWell, I'm wearing the cloak of misery[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]F[/ch]\r\nAnd I've tasted jilted love[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch]\r\nAnd the frozen smile upon my face[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C/G[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]\r\nFits me like a glove[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch]\r\nWell, I can't escape from those memories[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]F[/ch]\r\nOf the one that I'll always adore[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch]\r\nAll those nights, when I lay in the arms[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch]\r\nOf the girl from the Red River Shore[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Verse 5]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch]\r\nWell, we're living in the shadows of a fading past[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]F[/ch]\r\nTrapped in the fires of time[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch]\r\nI'd tried not to ever hurt anybody[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C/G[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]\r\nAnd to stay out of a life of crime[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch]\r\nAnd when it's all been said and done[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]F[/ch]\r\nI never did know the score[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch]\r\nOne more day is another day away[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch]\r\nFrom the girl from the Red River Shore[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Verse 6]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch]\r\nWell, I'm a stranger here in a strange land[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]F[/ch]\r\nBut I know this is where I belong[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch]\r\nI'll ramble and gamble for the one I love[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C/G[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]\r\nAnd the hills will give me a song[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch]\r\nThough nothing looks familiar to me[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]F[/ch]\r\nI know I've stayed here before[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch]\r\nOnce, a thousand nights ago[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch]\r\nWith the girl from the Red River Shore[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Verse 7]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch]\r\nWell, I went back to see about her once[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]F[/ch]\r\nWent back to straighten it out[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch]\r\nEverybody that I talked to had seen us there[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C/G[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]\r\nSaid they didn't know who I was talking about[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch]\r\nWell, the sun went down on me a long time ago[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]F[/ch]\r\nI had to go back from the door[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch]\r\nI wish I could have spent every hour of my life[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch]\r\nWith the girl from the Red River Shore[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Verse 8]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch]\r\nNow I heard of a guy who lived a long time ago[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]F[/ch]\r\nA man full of sorrow and strife[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch]\r\nThat if someone around him died and was dead[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C/G[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]\r\nHe knew how to bring 'em on back to life[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch]\r\nWell, I don't know what kind of language he used[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]F[/ch]\r\nOr if they do that kind of thing anymore[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch]\r\nSometimes I think nobody saw me here at all[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch]\r\nExcept the girl from the Red River Shore[/tab]","plain_text":"[Verse 1]\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[Verse 2]\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[Verse
