Rocky Votolato – Red River (Guitar)

E                                C#m
This is what life is like on the ground

A
I had a brother who was stationed up in northern hill county, 

E                       B5
no he never really came home

E                                         C#m
We drove out east to red river to see the high water flow

      A
That river was running just searching for an ocean

     E                  B5
The freedom he'd never known

       C#m
That feeling you get when the wind is blowing like

        A    
your whole life is starting over

              E                         B5
We made our peace there in the no mans land

             A5
where we come from

         E
Ive been searching for

                C#m
The waves that carried us home

        A
To the ocean we all came from

          E         B5
Where we wont be returned

          E
Ive been searching for

                C#m
The waves that carried us home

        A
To the ocean we all came from

          E         B5
Where we wont be dissolved

      A
into one

E                                       C#m
Like a simple animal running on broken legs that night

     A                                          E
His voice was splintering rising, falling to a fate 

                 B5
he'll never get out

E                                       C#m
From spokane all the way across montana out to the blood reserve

A                                     
Black levis jacket knocking them beers back on the 

E             B5
bank of that river

C#m                            A
Underneath September skies in south US border

              E
he made his peace there 

                B5
just after his boots 

                A
filled up with water

         E
Ive been searching for

                C#m
The waves that carried us home

        A
To the ocean we all came from

          E         B5
Where we wont be returned

          E
Ive been searching for

                C#m
The waves that carried us home

        A
To the ocean we all came from

          E         B5
Where we wont be dissolved

E
Waves will wash away 

      C#m
the misguided vision

A
Glory in a battlefield 

        E        B5
of a thousand corpses

          E
Ive been searching for

                C#m
The waves that carried us home

        A
To the ocean we all came from

          E         B5
Where we wont be dissolved

A      Ab5     F#5   Ab5     E
Out of the rain
