DOWN THE RIO GRANDE

by Tom Russell from "Borderland"
Tabbed by Milos Protic [email protected]
Capo 1. fret

[Verse 1]

(A) Baby pulled her blue dress on and (G) walked out in the (D/F#)night
(A)Left one silk stocking danglin’ (G)from the bedside (D/F#) light
I sobered up and called her name (A) just before the dawn
I (G)Followed footprints through the sand, I(A) knew where she had gone
Down The Rio (G) Grande
Down the Rio (A) Grande.

[Verse 2]
(same chords)

Pulled out of Albuquerque, must have been past 8:00
Four cups of coffee and I hit the interstate
Rolling through Las Cruces, I thought I saw her car
She always said she’d go someday, she never said how far
Down The Rio Grande, Down The Rio Grande

[Chorus]

(D)Maybe she’s in (G) Brownsville, she’s(A) got some family there
(D)She always (G) talked about the (A) salty Gulf Coast air
Where the river (G) ends, Down The Rio(A) Grande
