Intro:  G    A7    C  D    G 
 
       G             C 
On the Oklahoma shore of that old Red River 
  D                                   G 
I stand right here and curse my pride 
G                     C    
That river runs deep, the current is strong 
        D                                                G 
And the woman I love is on the other side 
 
            F#m   Em              D 
How did the love, we made together, break apart and drift away 
             C                      D 
Leave me lost and lonely on the crimson bank 
 
 
          G                  A7 
Red River blue, God, pull me through 
    C                         D                       G  D 
Id walk through fire if that bridge hadnt burned in two 
       G               A7 
Texoma sky tears in my eyes 
              C           D             G 
She said good-bye and now Im Red River blue 
 
Instrumental:  Am    C   D 
 
         G                    C 
They say everything is bigger under that Texas moon 
    D    G 
Ill bet my right hand you wont find a bigger fool 
G    F#m   Em                             D 
Shes probably smiling somewhere tonight in someone elses arms 
    C    G 
Im here dragging the muddy bottom for pieces of my heart 
 
 
 
          G                  A7 
Red River blue, God, pull me through 
    C                         D                       G  D 
Id walk through fire if that bridge hadnt burned in two 
       G               A7 
Texoma sky tears in my eyes 
              C           D             G 
She said good-bye and now Im Red River blue 
 
        D    C    D    G 
She said good-bye and now Im Red River blue 
 
Outro:  A7    C  D    G
