+5 +5 +5 +5 -4 +5 -4 +4
I played the Red River Valley

-4 -4 -4 -4 -4 +5 -5 +5 
And he'd sit out in the kitchen and cry

+6 +6 +6 -6 -6 -6 -5 -5 +6 -6 +6 +5 
An' run his fingers through 70 years of livin'

-4 +5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 +5 +4 -4 
An' wonder Lord, as ever, will that drill run dry?

(+4 +4 -4) -4 +5 -5 -5 +5
We were friends, me an this old man


[Chorus]

+6 -6 -6 -6 -7 +7 -7 -6 +6 -6
Like desperados waiting for a train

+6 -6 -6 -6 -7 +7 -7 -6 +6 -6
Like desperados waiting for a train

-6 +6 -5 +4 -4 
(SOLO]
