Capo 3rd Fret
[Intro]
(G) (Cadd9) (G) (Cadd9) x 2
[Verse]
G D/F# Em7
It seems like over night, the town of Red River
C D
Was suddenly full of strange men
C
Who wore suits in the summer
G/B A D
And stood on the dirt roads, trying to hold their maps in the wind
G D/F# Em7
And some of them smiled, and some of them didn't
C D
And none of them came back a gain
G D/F# Em7
After 5 gener ations of Rock County Wilsons
C G/B C G/B
The last 50 acres, apparently didn't
C D G
Mean a damn thing to them
[Instrumental]
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
[Verse]
G D/F# Em7
I stood on the hill, over looking Red River
C D
Where my momma and her momma lay
C G/B
And listened to the growling of the big diesel cat
A D
As they tore up the woods where I pl ayed
G D/F# Em7
And I said, Momma for give me, but I'm almost glad,
C D
That you're not here to day
G D/F# Em7
After 5 gener ations of Rock County Wilsons
C G/B C G/B
To see the last 50 acres in the hands of some body
C D G
That would actually blow it a way
G D/F# Em7
You know the Bus station, in the town of Red River
C D
Used to be the general store.
C
But now they got a new one.
G/B A D
And you know that's ok, if a bus is what you're looking for
G D/F# Em7
So early one morning, when the sun cut red
C D
I got up with the dawn
G D/F# Em7
After 5 gener ations of Rock County Wilson's
C G/B C D
The last one just climbed on a big gray dog
(N.C) And was gone
