Song From the Platte River

Brewer and Shipley

D add4  A add4  G (x2) G7
                    D          add4    A       add4        G        D
           I was freezin' on the banks of Platte River
           And I was thinking of General Custer and his last stand

                                     D7            G                             D
                           And I bowed my head - what has he done?
                                   D7        G                       D     A add4
                           He's got my freedom on the run

           I was thinking how they shot Mr. Lincoln
           And I remembered all the mountains that he made

                           And I bowed my head - what have they done?
                           They've got my freedom on the run

                                                 D          A                   G7
                                          The river is wide and it's wicked
                                                    D                             A                           G     D
                                          But it ends where there's peace for one and all
                                                                                        D add4  A add4  G add7

           I was thinking of the measure of my weakness
           I had so many I couldn't tell and do not know

                           And I bowed my head - what have we done?
                           We've got our freedom on the run

                                          The river is wide and it's wicked
                                          But it ends where there's peace for one and all...
