Shadows In The Moonlight

         G                      Dm
She was raised in Kentucky in a good
 christian home
         F             C          
they had plans for her future that
       G
 to them were carved in stone
       G                      Dm
he came from West Virginia to work 
down at the mill
         F             C          
from his tiny window he could see 
    G              Am
her house up on the hill

     G                             
the first time that he saw her she 
    Dm
was in her Sunday dress
     F                   C     
he came to church in his working 
           G
clothes trying to look his best
G                                 
somewhere between the sermon and 
   Dm
the congregation's rise
        F             C       
they caught a crystal vision of 
             G
their future
               Am
in each other's eyes

{Chorus}
            F                      
Across that big sandy river, what's
 C
 done has been done
        G                      
No one knows who we are, no one 
  Am
knows where we're from
       F                       C
We'll raise up a family, we'll build
 us a home
        G               E7        
but tonight, we're just shadows in
      Am
 the moonlight

               G              
Her father heard a ladder land 
  Dm
against the bedroom wall
              F        C          
came outside waving a pistol 
       G
yelling “leave my child alone!”
       G                        
she ran for the wagon while they 
  Dm
struggled for the gun
   F                   C          
it went off, like a cannon, 
  G
someone cried
                    Am
my God, what have I done

{Chorus}(1X) then to
             F                     
Across that big sandy river, what's
  C
 done has been done
        G                      
No one knows who we are, no one 
  Am
knows where we're from
       F                           
And I hope there'll be forgiveness 
C
in the days yet to come
        G               E7        
but tonight, we're just shadows in
     Am
 the moonlight
        G               E7        
yes tonight, we're just shadows in
     Am
 the moonlight.
