[Verse 1]
Em G C G
In the tallgrass we held hands
Em G C
Down by the river we made plans
Em G C G
Of what would and would not be
Em G C
Was impossible to see
Em G C G Em G C
[Verse 2]
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
Once I swore you'd ride with me (to ride distant shores)
Em G C
And where this river meets the sea (to make you mine forever more)
Em G C G
Over these dark hills I walk alone (I still hold you in my arms)
Em G C
To lie with you on a bed of stone
Em G C G Em G C
[Verse 4]
Em G C G
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 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
Of the stray bullet that shot my baby down
