Alabama - Red River
Words and Music by: Keith Darran McGuire and George Pearce

Intro:
G minorGm

Verse 1:
G minorGm              DmDm
I remember campin' all night down by the river's edge,
C majorC                       Bb majorBb  G minorGm
skinny dippin' in the bright moonlight, divin' off a ledge,
                 DmDm              C majorC
skippin' rocks across the water, fishin' on an old trout line,
                        Bb majorBb  A minorAm  G minorGm
gigging frogs 'till the early mornin', smokin' dried cross vine.

Chorus:
C majorC                         G minorGm
Take me back home where the Red River rolls, send  me back to Louisianne.
C majorC                           G minorGm
Take me back home where the white water flows, to the Cajun promised land.
C majorC                    G minorGm
Give me my line and my old pi rogue. Get  me back as fast you can.
Eb MajorEb             D MajorD        G minorGm
Take me back home where the Red River rolls.
Eb MajorEb             FF        G minorGm
Take me back home where the Red River rolls.

Verse 2:
G minorGm              DmDm
Floatin' down the river on a patched up inner tube,
C majorC                         Bb majorBb   G minorGm
eatin' dinner on the ground, made of fresh caught catfish stew.
             DmDm           C majorC
Lay awake at night when I hear a wildcat scream,
                            Bb majorBb A minorAm G minorGm
tellin' tales around the campfire light about the girls in our dreams.

(Repeat Chorus x 2 and fade)
