D.A.D - Rock River


      Em                G
I was out in the wild - Trying to catch some supper
Em                           G
And bring it home to sweet mama
             Em                  G
But when the pony headed back to our home valley..
  Em                     G
I knew I'd been gone too long


      C                Em/H      Am
And I crossed the Rock River the day before she died
I reached home just afer dark, looking for mama
But she was nowhere on our land
So I kicked the frontdoor open, saw the rope above her
And the shadow of the dirty gunman
And I crossed the Rock River the day before she died



Em                                                    G
I chased him through Arkansas, from Texas to Missouri
     Em                                     G
>From Saint Antoine up north to Saint Louis
Em                                  G
He was haunted, but I had the time
  Em                                         G
I wanted him back to the scene of the crime
And he crossed the Rock River the day before he died



Well, we reached Rock River and we reached the other side
He looked back, kinda fraid for his life
I pulled my trigger and I hit him right between the eyes
And then I roped him up to mama to the roaches & the flys


Enjoy!
