E minorEm
I was out in the wild
G+G
Trying to catch some supper
E minorEm                         G+G
And bring it home to sweet mama..
             E minorEm
But when the pony headed back
G+G
To our home valley..
E minorEm                       G+G
I knew I'd been gone too long:
        C majorC                H         A augmentedA
- And I crossed the Rock River the day before she died

You play this twice:

E MajorE|---------0-0-0-0---------3-3-3-3-|
BB|---------0-0-0-0---------3-3-3-3-|
G+G|---------1-1-1-1---------0-0-0-0-|
D MajorD|---------2-2-2-2---------0-0-0-0-|
A augmentedA|---------2-2-2-2---------2-2-2-2-|
E MajorE|-0-3-2-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-2-3-3-3-3-3-|

E minorEm
I reached home just afer dark..
G+G
Looking for mama
E minorEm                         G+G
But she was nowhere on our land...
     E minorEm
So I kicked the frontdoor open
G+G
Saw the rope above her
E minorEm                          G+G
And the shadow of the dirty gunman...
        C majorC                H         A augmentedA
- And I crossed the Rock River the day before she died

You play the intro now and after that you play this
after every second sentence:

E MajorE|---------0-|
BB|---------0-|
G+G|---------1-|
D MajorD|---------2-|
A augmentedA|---------2-|
E MajorE|-0-3-2-0-0-|

I chased him through Arkansas
From Texas to Missouri...
He took me up north
From Saint Antoine To Saint Louis
He was haunted
But I had the time
I wanted him back
To the scene of the crime
         C majorC                H         A augmentedA
- And he crossed the Rock River the day before he died...

(Solo, sorry I don't know to play that yet, but when I do I'll submit it.)
The guitar in the background in the solo is the intro, so you can play that.

E minorEm
Well, we reached Rock River
G+G
And we reached the other side...
          E minorEm
He looked back
                    G+G
Kinda fraid for his life
         E minorEm
I pulled my trigger and I hitted him
G+G
Right between the eyes
           E minorEm
And then I roped him up to mama
       G+G
To the roaches & the flys...
