Intro:  G    A7    C  D    G 

       G             C 
On the Oklahoma shore of that old Red River 
  D                                   G 
I stand right here and curse my pride 
G                     C    
That river runs deep, the current is strong 
        D                                                G 
And the woman I love is on the other side 

            F#m   Em 			 D 
How did the love, we made together, break apart and drift away 
             C                      D 
Leave me lost and lonely on the crimson bank 


          G                  A7 
Red River blue, God, pull me through 
    C                         D                       G  D 
Id walk through fire if that bridge hadnt burned in two 
       G               A7 
Texoma sky tears in my eyes 
              C           D             G 
She said good-bye and now Im Red River blue 

Instrumental:  Am    C   D

Ill bet my right hand you wont find a bigger fool 
G	F#m   Em                             D 
Shes probably smiling somewhere tonight in someone elses arms

Im here dragging the muddy bottom for pieces of my heart

Id walk through fire if that bridge hadnt burned in two

She said good-bye and now Im Red River blue
