D
Wide-open western sky
Dmaj7 D6 Dmaj7 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
Dmaj7 D6 Dmaj7 G
Rattle over a cattle guard past a row of old fence posts
To a one lane bridge where the path begins
A G
When we feel the coolness in the air
A G (hold)
Then we know we're almost there and
D G
You put your hand in mine
Bm C G
Tiny fingers that fit just fine and we
D G
Walk down where the river gets wide
Bm A G
And no one ever comes around
D G
Hidin' out ‘neath the Concho moon
Bm C G
No agenda and nothin' to prove in our
D G A
Own little world
G
Just me and my river girl
D
The hours go slippin' by like
Dmaj7 D6 Dmaj7 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
Dmaj7 D6 Dmaj7 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
A G
See the starlight in your eyes
A G (hold)
And for me there's no dream like when
D G
You put your hand in mine
Bm C G
Pretty fingers that fit just fine and we
D G
Walk down where the river gets wide
Bm A G
And no one ever comes around
D G
Hidin' out ‘neath the Concho moon
Bm C G
No agenda and nothin' to prove in our
D G A
Own little world
G
Just me and my river girl
Bm G
One day I know you'll fly from this sleepy town
Bm G (hold)
But for this moment here and now
(single strums)
D G
You put your hand in mine
Bm C G
Tiny fingers that feel so fine and we
D G
Walk along where the river gets wide
Bm A G (start strumming again & crescendo here)
Two people in love
D G
There's no feeling' in the world like this
Bm C G
Frozen in a tiptoe kiss in our
D G A
Own little world
G
Just me and my river girl
Just me and my river girl
