along the Palo Duro canyon
C Dsus4
Red River shows so many eyes
C Dsus4 C Dsus4 — D
one eye squinting, shaded from the sun, shoot me
C D7+9
black as oil, his hair shone
C
lily white, his skin glistened
Dsus4 C Dsus4 — D
restless as the reed between his lips blew
C G D
it’s just that mean old Texas sun
C G C D
it makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head

(D part *4) (G part *4)
You fall off the floor
(D part *4) (G part *4)
I slide your head across the ice
(D part *4) (G part *4)
I throw my head through the window, crash
(D part *4) (G part *4)
Like gods a room full of delicate cutters
(D part *4) (G part *4)
All sitting down the room, as many doors
(D part *4) (G part *4)
All but one of them are closed
(D part *4) (G part *4)
She goes around, opening the doors
(D part *4) (G part *4)
This has another ending, full of innocent children
(D part *4) (G part *4)
One of them are closed
(D part *4) (G part *4)
She goes around, this has another ending
(D part *4) (G part *4) (D part *4) (G end)
Opening the doorspart *4) (D part *4) (G end)
