Red River Valley

Tom: G

Verso 1:

G                     D           G 
From this valley they say you are leaving, 
                                         D 
We shall miss your bright eyes and sweet smile. 
        G                        C 
For you take with you all of the sunshine, 
         D                     G 
That has brighten our pathway awhile. 

Refrão:

Then come sit by my side if you love me, 
                          D 
Do not hasten to bid me a due. 
       G                    C 
Just remember the red river valley, 
        D                         G 
And the cowboy thats loved you so true.

Verso 2:

G                  D            G 
For a long time my darling I've waited, 
                                   D 
For the sweet word you never would say. 
       G                           C 
Now at last all my fond hopes have vanished, 
         D                    G 
For they say that your going away.
