D
Wide-open western sky
         Dmaj7    D6       Dmaj7  G
Rust-red sunset startin' to fade on an August night

The heat's still risin' off the asphalt when we
D
Turn down a county road
              Dmaj7         D6     Dmaj7     G
Rattle over a cattle guard past a row of old fence posts

To a one lane bridge where the path begins
A                G
When we feel the coolness in the air
A                  G (hold)
Then we know we're almost there and


D            G
You put your hand in mine
Bm                C        G
Tiny fingers that fit just fine and we
D                   G
Walk down where the river gets wide
Bm          A         G
And no one ever comes around
D                     G
Hidin' out ‘neath the Concho moon
Bm            C          G
No agenda and nothin' to prove in our
D  G      A
Own little world
G
Just me and my river girl


D
The hours go slippin' by like
     Dmaj7      D6      Dmaj7     G
Dark water over flat rocks in the moonlight

You kick your flip-flops off, trail your toes in the water and you
D
Tell me all of your dreams
           Dmaj7  D6         Dmaj7   G
Small town girl takin' on the world in cut-off jeans

And when you lean back, lay your head on my lap I can
A       G
See the starlight in your eyes
A                  G (hold)
And for me there's no dream like when



D            G
You put your hand in mine
Bm                   C        G
Pretty fingers that fit just fine and we
D                   G
Walk down where the river gets wide
Bm          A         G
And no one ever comes around
D                     G
Hidin' out ‘neath the Concho moon
Bm            C          G
No agenda and nothin' to prove in our
D  G      A
Own little world
G
Just me and my river girl


Bm                    G
One day I know you'll fly from this sleepy town
Bm                  G (hold)
But for this moment here and now

(single strums)
D            G
You put your hand in mine
Bm                C       G
Tiny fingers that feel so fine and we
D                    G
Walk along where the river gets wide
Bm  A         G (start strumming again & crescendo here)
Two people in love
D                          G
There's no feeling' in the world like this
Bm          C      G
Frozen in a tiptoe kiss in our
D  G      A
Own little world
G
Just me and my river girl
