(G+G) (Cadd9Cadd9) (G+G) (Cadd9Cadd9) x 2

Verse:
  G+G        D/F#D/F#    E minor 7Em7
It seems like over night, the town of Red River
  C majorC            D MajorD
Was suddenly full of strange men
     C majorC
Who wore suits in the summer
  G/BG/B           A augmentedA                D MajorD
And stood on the dirt roads, trying to hold their maps in the wind
  G+G      D/F#D/F#    E minor 7Em7
And some of them smiled, and some of them didn't
  C majorC            D MajorD
And none of them came back a gain
   G+G    D/F#D/F#   E minor 7Em7
After 5 gener ations of Rock County Wilsons
  C majorC    G/BG/B  C majorC     G/BG/B
The last 50 acres, apparently didn't
C majorC   D MajorD       G+G
Mean a damn thing to them

Verse:
 G+G      D/F#D/F#    E minor 7Em7
I stood on the hill, over looking Red River
     C majorC          D MajorD
Where my momma and her momma lay
  C majorC                G/BG/B
And listened to the growling of the big diesel cat
    A augmentedA              D MajorD
As they tore up the woods where I pl ayed
      G+G     D/F#D/F#     E minor 7Em7
And I said, Momma for give me, but I'm almost glad,
   C majorC         D MajorD
That you're not here to day
   G+G    D/F#D/F#   E minor 7Em7
After 5 gener ations of Rock County Wilsons
      C majorC    G/BG/B     C majorC       G/BG/B
To see the last 50 acres in the hands of some body
      C majorC    D MajorD     G+G
That would actually blow it a way

  G+G      D/F#D/F#      E minor 7Em7
You know the Bus station, in the town of Red River
C majorC           D MajorD
Used to be the general store.
  C majorC
But now they got a new one.
    G/BG/B         A augmentedA             D MajorD
And you know that's ok, if a bus is what you're looking for
  G+G     D/F#D/F#       E minor 7Em7
So early one morning, when the sun cut red
C majorC         D MajorD
I got up with the dawn
   G+G    D/F#D/F#   E minor 7Em7
After 5 gener ations of Rock County Wilson's
  C majorC       G/BG/B     C majorC    D MajorD
The last one just climbed on a big gray dog
(N.C) And was gone
