Was impossible to see

Em G C G
The black boots shown in the sun
Em G C
We we're waiting on the Anondale train for my baby to come
Em G C G
Little girl with the long black hair
Em G C
Do you know what lies 'neath the long coats that they wear?
[Verse 3]
Em G C G Em
Once I swore you'd ride with me (to ride distant shores)
Em G C Em
Down where this river meets the sea (to make you mine forever more)
Em G C G Em
Over these dark hills I'd walk alone (I still hold you in my arms)
Em G C
To lie with you on a bed of stone

River blood red with the years
Em G C
You can flood this valley with a thousand tears
Em G C
Wash away all that's been found
Em G C
But you'll never wash away the sound
Em G C
Of the stray bullet that shot my baby down
Em G C
Of the stray bullet that shot my baby down
Em G C
Of the stray bullet that shot my baby down
Em G C Em N.C.
Of the stray bullet that shot my baby down
