Red River Valley (midi)

G D G

1. From this valley, they say, you are leaving,

D

we shall miss your bright eyes and sweet smile,

G G7 C

for you take with you all of the sunshine,

D D7 G

that has brightened our bad ways a while.

G D G

Then come sit by my side if you love me,

D

do not hasten to bid me adieu.

G G7 C

Just remember the Red River Valley,

D D7 G

and the cowboy that's loved you so true.

G D G

2. For a long time, my darling, I've waited,

D

for the sweet words you never would say.

G G7 C

Now at last all my fond hopes have vanished,

D D7 G

for they say that you're going away.

+ CHORUS
