White River chords by Kaitlin Butts

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
 Am
A set?: of tail lights drove away into the night
G
Far away a coyote cries
Am
.34 revolver reflected the moonlight
G                         Am
Pointed right between his eyes


Chorus:
           G                       Am
And in the paper Monday morning it read
             C               G            Am
That was the night the White River turned red
             C              G
That was the night that the White River turned red
Am Am

Verse 2:
 Am
Twelve shades of black and blue 'called the memories of my youth
G                               Am
She tried to shield me from the pain

But on her cheek and in her vacant eyes I saw the proof
G                                        Am
You were?: the king, and oh your terror reigned


Verse 3:
 Am
Twenty-some-odd years has been more than enough
G                                 Am
It's time to pay for what you've done

Lookin' at you now, you don't seem to be so tough
G                            Am
Starin' down the barrel of a gun


Chorus:
           G                       Am
And in the paper Monday morning it read
             C               G            Am
That was the night the White River turned red
             C              G                  Am
That was the night that the White River turned red


Verse 4:
Am
The revenge I take might haunt me 'til the day that I am dead
G                                       Am
But I pray this shot will quiet all her cries in my head
Am
But either way, I stand here with smoke trailing off
G                        AM
Watching that river turn red
    G                         Am
Oh, watching that river turn red
    G                         Am
Oh, watching that river turn red
    G                         Am
Oh, watching that river turn red


Intro:
Am
You can beg forgiveness but I know you all too well
G                                Am
You acted like the devil so I'll send you straight to hell
