Tom Russell Down The Rio Grande
A) Baby pulled her blue dress on and (G) walked out in
the (D/F#)night
(A)Left one silk stocking danglin’ (G)from the bedside
(D/F#) light
I sobered up and called her name (A) just before the dawn
I (G)Followed footprints through the sand, I(A) knew
where she had gone
Down The Rio (G) Grande
Down the Rio (A) Grande.
Verce 2 same chords
Pulled out of Albuquerque, must have been past 8:00
Four cups of coffee and I hit the interstate
Rolling through Las Cruces, I thought I saw her car
She always said she’d go someday, she never said how far
Down The Rio Grande, Down The Rio Grande
Chorus
(D)Maybe she’s in (G) Brownsville, she’s(A) got some
family there
(D)She always (G) talked about the (A) salty Gulf Coast
air
Where the river (G) ends, Down The Rio(A) Grande
