River Runs Red

       D                 C
The thirty-first day of December
       G                           
Three thousand dressed in blue and 
 D
gray
    D                      C
All sons of the Heavenly Father
G                   D
Lay in a watery grave

                       C     G
And the river runs red
                     D   C    G   D
The river runs red

[Verse]

     D                        C
One shot woke the Tennessee mornin'
      G                         D
Soon fire and smoke filled the sky
D                             C
Then rain came down with no warning
G                              D
As sorrow fell down from all sides


[Chorus]

                D
The river runs red
               Am/C
The river runs red
                    G
No winners or losers
                        D
When you count the dead

                    D
We watch it roll by,
                     Am/C
We all bow our heads,
                         G
The guns have gone silent
                       D  C  G
But the river runs red

[Verse]

     D                C
Now Rogers was from Alabama
     G                      D
And Thomas an old New York town
     D                             
But soon they would die like blood 
  C
brothers
        G                      
In the stream where their souls 
             D
would flow down


[Chorus]
                  D
The river runs red
              Am/C
The river runs red
                    G
No winners or losers
                        D
When you count the dead
                    D
We watch it roll by,
                     Am/C
We all bow our heads,
                         G
The guns have gone silent
                       C  G  D
But the river runs red


[Bridge]

       F                        
Some say you could see round for 
 G
miles
                                D
And it flowed that way so many years
          F                  
Now the water looks clean and 
  G
untainted
But Stones River will never run 
 G
clear

                    D
The river runs red
              Am/C
The river runs red
                    G
No winners or losers
                        D
When you count the dead
                    D
We watch it roll by,
                     Am/C
We all bow our heads,
                         G
The guns have gone silent
                       D  C  G
But the river runs red
