D
Wide-open western sky
D7M D6 D7M G
Rust-red sunset startin' to fade on an August night
The heat's still risin' off the asphalt when we
D
Turn down a county road
D7M D6 D7M G
Rattle over a cattle guard past a row of old fence posts
To a one lane Bridge where the path begins
AG
When we feel the coolness in the air
AG (hold)
Then we know we're almost there and
DG
You put your hand in mine
BmCG
Tiny fingers that fit just fine and we
DG
Walk down where the river gets wide
BmAG
And no one ever comes around
DG
Hidin' out '??neath the Concho moon
BmCG
No agenda and nothin' to prove in our
DGA
Own little world
G
Just me and my river girl
D
The hours go slippin' by like
D7M D6 D7M G
Dark water over flat rocks in the moonlight
You kick your flip-flops off, trail your toes in the water and you
D
Tell me all of your dreams
D7M D6 D7M G
Small town girl takin' on the world in cut-off jeans
And when you lean back, lay your head on my lap I can
AG
See the starlight in your eyes
AG (hold)
And for me there's no dream like when
DG
You put your hand in mine
BmCG
Pretty fingers that fit just fine and we
DG
Walk down where the river gets wide
BmAG
And no one ever comes around
DG
Hidin' out '??neath the Concho moon
BmCG
No agenda and nothin' to prove in our
DGA
Own little world
G
Just me and my river girl
BmG
One day I know you'll fly from this sleepy town
BmG (hold)
But for this moment here and now
(single strums)
DG
You put your hand in mine
BmCG
Tiny fingers that feel so fine and we
DG
Walk along where the river gets wide
BmAG (start strumming again & crescendo here)
Two people in love
DG
There's no feeling' in the world like this
BmCG
Frozen in a tiptoe kiss in our
DGA
Own little world
G
Just me and my river girl
Just me and my river girl
