Lonessome Dove
By: Garth Brooks
G She was a girl on a wagon train C G D G headed west a-cross the plains. Em C D The train got lost in a summer storm. Em C D They coudln't move west and they couldn't go home G Then she saw him ridin' through the rain. C G D G He took charge of the wagons and he saved the train. Em C D And she looked down and her heart was gone. Em C D G The train went west but she stayed on in Lonesome Dove. G A farmer's daughter with a gentle hand, C G D G A blooming rose in a bed of sand. Em C D She loved the man who wore a star, Em C D A Texas Ranger known near and far. G So they got married and they had a child. C G D G But times were tough and West was wild. Em C D So it was no surprise the day she learned Em C D D G That her Texas man would not return, to Lonesome Dove.
Chorus:
Em G C G D/F# Back to back with the Rio Grande, a Christian woman in the devil's land. Em Bm She learned the language and she learned to fight, but she C Am D never learned how to beat the lonely nights, D G D G In Lonesome Dove, Lonesome Dove
Verse 3:
G She watched her boy grow into a man. C G D G He had an angel's heart and the devil's hand. Em C D He wore his star for all to see. Em C D He was a Texas lawman legacy. G Then one day word blew into town. C G D G It seemed the man that shot his father down Em C D Had robbed a bank in Jericho. Em C D Tho only thing 'tween them and Mexico D G Was Lonesome Dove.
Verse 4:
G The shadows stretched across the land C G D G As the shots rang out down the Rio Grande. Em C D And when the smoke had finally cleared the street, Em C D The men lay at the ranger's feet. G But legend tells to this very day C G D G That shots were comin' from an alleyway. Em C D Though no one knows who held the gun, Em C D There ain't no doubt if you ask someone D G In Lonesome Dove.
Chorus:
Em G C G D/F# Back to back with the Rio Grande, a Christian woman in the devil's land. Em Bm She learned the language and she learned to fight, but she C Am D never learned how to beat the lonely nights, D G D G In Lonesome Dove, Lonesome Dove
