                        Song From the Platte River

                                                          Brewer & 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/A D4 add5 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...
