A augmentedA set : of tail lights drove away into the night
G+G
Far away a coyote cries

Pointed right between his eyes

 A minorAm
Twelve shades of black and blue 'called the memories of my youth
G+G                               A minorAm
She tried to shield me from the pain

But on her cheek and in her vacant eyes I saw the proof

You were : the king, and oh your terror reigned

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

The revenge I take might haunt me 'til the day that I am dead
G+G                                       A minorAm
But I pray this shot will quiet all her cries in my head
A minorAm
But either way, I stand here with smoke trailing off

Watching that river turn red
    G+G                         A minorAm
Oh, watching that river turn red
    G+G                         A minorAm
Oh, watching that river turn red
    G+G                         A minorAm
Oh, watching that river turn red
