(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.
