White River

Am A set? of tail lights drove away into the night G Far away a coyote cries Am .34 revolver reflected the moonlight G Am Pointed right between his eyes G Am And in the paper Monday morning it read C G Am That was the night the White River turned red C G That was the night that the White River turned red Am Am Am Twelve shades of black and blue 'called the memories of my youth G Am She tried to shield me from the pain But on her cheek and in her vacant eyes I saw the proof G Am You were? the king, and oh your terror reigned Am Twenty-some-odd years has been more than enough G Am It's time to pay for what you've done Lookin' at you now, you don't seem to be so tough G Am Starin' down the barrel of a gun G Am And in the paper Monday morning it read C G Am That was the night the White River turned red C G Am That was the night that the White River turned red Am The revenge I take might haunt me 'til the day that I am dead G Am But I pray this shot will quiet all her cries in my head Am But either way, I stand here with smoke trailing off G AM Watching that river turn red G Am Oh, watching that river turn red G Am Oh, watching that river turn red G Am Oh, watching that river turn red Am You can beg forgiveness but I know you all too well G Am You acted like the devil so I'll send you straight to hell
