G    D    C   x4

[Verse 1]
G           D                 C
   Now take a look at their big house
G        D                 C
   Bigger than they really needed
           G               D      C
He got the duallies on his pickup
         G           D            C
When the dealer gave him a choice
     G        D          C
Then lost his job on the buildsite
         G             D        C
Now he's struggling to feed his boys

[Chorus]
        G         C
And the Red Cedar grows
    G         C
The Red Cedar flows
    G               C
And long after your gone
                G  D  C
E|t's| outlasting yo--u lord
                G  D  C
E|t's| outlasting yo--u lord
                   G    D    C    G    D    C
It's outlasting you

[Verse 2]
    G            D           C
His wife was his high school girl
G          D         C
They never left this town
        G         D        C
Well it booms and busts and heaves and rusts
   G           D       C
But they can't bear to go
         G          D        C
Now they couldn't go if they wanted to
              G           D        C
There aint no work anywhere anymore

[Chorus]
        G         C
And the Red Cedar grows
    G         C
The Red Cedar flows
    G               C
And long after your gone
                G  D  C
E|t's| outlasting yo--u lord
                G  D  C
E|t's| outlasting yo--u lord
                   G    D    C    G    D    C
It's outlasting you

[Verse 3]
           G       D            C
She's been serving food down at Bud's
  G      D                C
He can't stand to see her there
          G         D           C
Where the desperate men sit and drink
G                D           C
   And stare too long at her legs
      G       D             C
While he sits home with the kids at night
      G       D             C
And hides the worry on his face

[Chorus]
        G         C
And the Red Cedar grows
    G         C
The Red Cedar flows
    G               C
And long after your gone
                G  D  C
E|t's| outlasting yo--u lord
                G  D  C
E|t's| outlasting yo--u lord
                   G    D    C    G    D    C
It's outlasting you

[Verse 4]
          G                 D      C
Now their kids are getting bigger
           G         D          C
They can't play outside like it used to be
           G            D          C
You know exactly what's lurking out there
                G               D             C
Brother you can see it on the news every night
        G                D        C
And the villiage that it takes to raise our kids
    G        D        C
Is afraid to come outside

[Chorus]
        G         C
And the Red Cedar grows
    G         C
The Red Cedar flows
    G               C
And long after your gone
                G  D  C
E|t's| outlasting yo--u lord
                G  D  C
E|t's| outlasting yo--u lord
                   G    D    C    G    D    C
It's outlasting you

[Verse 5]
G            D             C
Tuesday afternoons are the hardest
       G       D        C
When time just seems to stand still
      G           D        C
They have piled up quite a few of them now
         G               D         C
About 20 year's worth of not quite three o'clocks
       G          D          C
And time moves as fast as it ever did
                    G        D               C
There ain't nothing you can do to slow it down

[Chorus]
        G         C
And the Red Cedar grows
    G         C
The Red Cedar flows
    G               C
And long after your gone
                G  D  C
E|t's| outlasting yo--u lord
                G  D  C
E|t's| outlasting yo--u lord
                G  D  C
E|t's| outlasting yo--u lord
                G  D  C
E|t's| outlasting yo--u lord
                G  D  C
E|t's| outlasting yo--u lord
                G  D  C
E|t's| outlasting yo--u lord
                G  D  C
E|t's| outlasting yo--u lord
                   G    D    C    Am    G
It's outlasting you
