      Em
I was out in the wild 
G
Trying to catch some supper 
Em                         G
And bring it home to sweet mama.. 
             Em
But when the pony headed back 
G
To our home valley.. 
Em                       G
I knew I'd been gone too long: 
        C                H         A  
- And I crossed the Rock River the day before she died

          Em
I reached home just afer dark.. 
G
Looking for mama 
Em                         G 
But she was nowhere on our land... 
     Em         
So I kicked the frontdoor open
G 
Saw the rope above her 
Em                          G
And the shadow of the dirty gunman... 
        C                H         A  
- And I crossed the Rock River the day before she died

You play the intro now and after that you play this

G|---------1-|
D|---------2-|
A|---------2-|
E|-0-3-2-0-0-|


I chased him through Arkansas 
From Texas to Missouri... 
He took me up north 
From Saint Antoine To Saint Louis 
He was haunted 
But I had the time 
I wanted him back 
To the scene of the crime 
         C                H         A
- And he crossed the Rock River the day before he died... 

(Solo, sorry I don't know to play that yet, but when I do I'll submit it.)
The guitar in the background in the solo is the intro, so you can play that.              

         Em
Well, we reached Rock River 
G
And we reached the other side... 
          Em
He looked back
                    G 
Kinda fraid for his life 
         Em
I pulled my trigger and I hitted him 
G
Right between the eyes 
           Em
And then I roped him up to mama 
       G
To the roaches & the flys...

        C                H         A
- And I crossed the Rock River the day before he died
