(Am) (E7add5) (C) (G)
C G/B
Well, she saved him from whiskey,
F Em
was his constant companion.
Am E7add5 C G
You'd see them out riding at dawn.
C Em
She gave him his reasons
F Em
to shoulder the seasons,
Bb Am
but now when you see him
D G
he's riding alone.
C G/B
She lay down beside him
F Em
to touch him and guide him,
Am E7add5
turn 'round his head
C G
on the darkest of days.
C Em
He still sits beside her,
F Em
remembers her smiling
Bb Am
and whisper to him
D G
that old song he would play.
C G/B
Please lay down beside me,
F Em
How I love you.
F Am
Never wanted to bid this adieu.
Am E7add5
No red river ever ran deeper
D C
than an old cowboy love,
D G C
than an old cowboy love that runs true.
