Intro: C - G7 - C - G7

Chorus:

          C              F
Where The Arkansas River Leaves Oklahoma
   C                               G7
It Runs Free And Rambles Muddy And Wide
          C              F
Where The Arkansas River Leaves Oklahoma
C                     G7          C
It's Gone Forever And Never Looks Back

  C                   F                C
I Met Her In Stillwell She Just Turned Twenty
                                  G7
A Spirited Beauty Like I've Never Known
    C                    F            C
And Me A Dirt Farmer Who Lived By The River
                                  G7          C
But She Said She Loved Me And The Free Life I Owned

   C                    F            C
We Married In April And Lived By The River
                                         G7
We Worked That Land From Spring Till The Fall
      C                     F             C
But I Guess When The Winter Howled At Our Window
                               G7         C
She Couldn't Help Hearing That Wild River Call

Repeat Chorus

Inst. Break: C - C - G7 - C - C

C                         F              C
She Tried To Conquer That Wild Rage With-in Her
                                         G7
But Something Too Strong Ran Deep In Her Soul
    C                   F                 C
But I Know She Loved Me  She Cried Like A Baby
                             G7           C
That Cold Winter Evening She Answered The Call

Repeat Chorus
