          C              G/B
Well, she saved him from whiskey,
        F            Em
was his constant companion.
       Am          E7add5    C          G
You'd see them out riding at dawn.

   C             Em
She gave him his reasons 
     F               Em
to shoulder the seasons,
   Bb           Am 
but now when you see him
     D       G
he's riding alone.

   C           G/B
She lay down beside him
    F            Em 
to touch him and guide him,
 Am             E7add5
turn 'round his head
        C         G
on the darkest of days.

     C           Em
He still sits beside her,
   F                Em
remembers her smiling
  Bb           Am
and whisper to him
         D            G
that old song he would play.

      C            G/B
Please lay down beside me,
    F      Em
How I love you.
   F            Am
Never wanted to bid this adieu.
    Am       E7add5
No red river ever ran deeper
   D               C
than an old cowboy love,
   D              G               C     
than an old cowboy love that runs true.
