Red River Valley(Chords)

	        
E                     B7          E  
From this valley they say you are going,  
                                       B7  
We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile,  
         E           E7         A  
For they say you are taking the sunshine,  
         B7                    E  
That has brightened our pathway a while.  
  
E                  B7          E  
Come and sit by my side if you love me,  
                          B7  
Do not hasten to bid me adieu.  
       E          E7        A  
Just remember the Red River Valley,  
        B7                      E  
And the hobo that's loved you so true.
  
  
E                  B7             E  
For a long time my dear, I've been waiting,  
                                     B7  
For those words that you never would say.  
       E           E7              A  
Now at last all my fond hopes have vanished,  
         B7                   
For they say you are going away.  
  
Chorus  
  
E                       B7          E  
Won't you think of this valley you're leaving,  
                               B7  
And how lonely and sad it will be? 
    E            E7              A  
And think of the heart that you're breaking  
        B7                          E  
And the grief you are causing me.
