In Lonesome Dove Garth Brooks
Intro: G
Verse:
She [G]was a girl on a wagon train
[C]Headed [G]west [D]across the [G]plains
The [Em]train got lost in a [C]summer [D]storm
They [Em]couldn't move west and they [C]couldn't go [D]home
Then she [G]saw him ridin' through the rain
He took [C]charge of the [G]wagons and he [D]saved the [G]train
And she [Em]looked down and her [C]heart was [D]gone
The [Em]train went west but she [C]stayed[D] on
In [G]Lonesome Dove
Verse:
A [G]farmer's daughter with a gentle hand
A [C]blooming [G]rose in a [D]bed of [G]sand
She l[Em]oved the man who [C]wore a [D]star
A [Em]Texas Ranger known [C]near and [D]far
So t[G]hey got married and they had a child
But [C]times were [G]tough and the [D]west was [G]wild
So it was [Em]no surprise the [C]day she l[D]earned
That her [Em]Texas man would [C]not re[D]turn
To [G]Lonesome Dove[G] [D/Fis]
Chorus:
[Em]Back to back with the [G]Rio Grande
A [C]Christian woman in the [G]devil's [D]land
She [Em]learned the language and she [D]learned to fight
But she [C]never learned how to beat the [Am]lonely nights[A] [B] [C] [E] [D]
In [G]Lonesome Dove, Lonesome Dove
Verse:
She watched her boy grow to a man
He had an angel's heart and the devil's hand
He wore his star for all to see
He was a Texas lawman legacy
Then one day word blew into town
It seemed the men who shot his father down
Had robbed a bank in Cherico
The only thing 'tween them and Mexico
Was Lonsome Dove
Verse:
The shadows stretched across the land
As the shots rang out down the Rio Grande
And when the smoke had finally cleared the street
The men lay at the ranger's feet
But legend tells to this very day
That shots were comin' from an alleyway
'Through no one knows who held the gun
There ain't no doubt if you ask someone
in Lonesome Dove
