Intro Em | G | C | G 
 
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 
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? 
 
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 |  
 
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
