Red River(Chords)

	        {Intro} 
 
Gm 
 
 
{Verse 1} 
 
Gm                           Dm 
I remember campin' all night down by the river's edge, 
C                                              Bb    Gm 
skinny dippin' in the bright moonlight, divin' off a ledge, 
                                 Dm                            C 
skippin' rocks across the water, fishin' on an old trout line, 
                                               Bb    Am    Gm 
gigging frogs 'till the early mornin', smokin' dried cross vine. 
 
 
{Chorus} 
 
C                                                 Gm 
Take me back home where the Red River rolls, send    me back to Louisianne. 
C                                                     Gm 
Take me back home where the white water flows, to the Cajun promised land. 
C                                        Gm 
Give me my line and my old pi rogue. Get    me back as fast you can. 
Eb                          D               Gm 
Take me back home where the Red River rolls. 
Eb                          F               Gm 
Take me back home where the Red River rolls. 
 
 
{Verse 2} 
 
Gm                           Dm 
Floatin' down the river on a patched up inner tube, 
C                                                 Bb      Gm 
eatin' dinner on the ground, made of fresh caught catfish stew. 
                          Dm                      C 
Lay awake at night when I hear a wildcat scream, 
                                                        Bb Am  Gm 
tellin' tales around the campfire light about the girls in our dreams. 
 
(Repeat Chorus x 2 and fade)
