Red River Valley - traditional - 50 bpm

From this [C]valley they []say you are []going[]
We will [C]miss your bright []eyes and sweet [G]smile[]
For they [C]say you are []taking the [F]sunshine[]
That has [C]brightened our [G]path for a [C]while[]

	Come and [C]sit by my []side if you []love me[]
	Do not [C]hasten to []bid me a[G]dieu[]
	But re[C]member the []Red River [F]Valley[]
	And the [C]cowboy who [G]loved you so [C]true[]

Won't you [C]think of the []valley you're []leaving[]
Oh how [C]lonely, how []sad it will [G]be?[]
Oh [C]think of the []fond heart you're [F]breaking[]
And the [C]grief you are [G]causing to [C]me[]

[::17::repeat chorus]

As you [C]go to your []home by the []ocean[]
May you [C]never forg[]et those sweet [G]hours[]
That we [C]spent in the []Red River [F]Valley[]
And the [C]love we ex[G]changed mid the [C]flowers[]
