Rock County Wilsonâs Done by Dan Seals
Capo on 2nd fret G Em C D
| G walk to E
G Em
It seems like overnight, the town of Red River
C G
Was suddenly full of strange men
C
Who wore suits in the summer
G D
And stood on the dirt roads, trying to hold their maps in the wind
G Em
And some of them smiled, and some of them didnât
C D
And none of them came back again
G Em
After 5 generations of Rock County Wilsonâs
C
D G
The last 50 acres, apparently they didnât, mean a damn thing to them
G
Em
C G
I stood on the hill, overlooking Red River, where my momma and her momma
lay
C
G D
And listened to the growling of the big diesel cat, as they tore up the
woodâs where I played
G
Em C D
And I said Momma forgive me, but Iâm almost glad, that youâre not here
today
G Em
After 5 generations of Rock County Wilsonâs
C
D
G
see the last 50 acres in the hands of somebody that would actually blow
it away
G Em
You know the Bus station, in the town of Red River
C G
Used to be the general store.
C
G D
But now they got a new one. And you know thatâs ok, if a bus is what
youâre looking for
G
Em C D
So early one morning, When the sun becomes red, I got up with the dawn
G Em
After 5 generations of Rock County Wilsonâs
C
D G
The last one just climbed on a big gray dog···.And was gone····
Strum only: \ with refrain: G Em C D G Em C D G End
with a slow strum
