This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

C D7+9

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

G C G - <riff 3x>

Am D7+9

to sit beside me in my car, and light up my cigar

(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) F7tF7 ?Remember full of delicate cutters

(D part *4) (G end)

Opening the doorspart *4) F7tF7 ?Remember full of delicate cutters

(D part *4) (G end)

Opening the doors
