She was raised in Kentuck[G]y in a good christian h[Dm]ome
they had [F]plans for her [C]future that to the[G]m were carved in stone
he came[G] from West Virginia to [Dm]work down at the mill
from his [F]tiny window he[C] could see her [G]house up on the[Am] hill
the f[G]irst time that he saw her she was [Dm]in her Sunday dress
he ca[F]me to church in his [C]working clothes t[G]rying to look his best
[G]somewhere between the sermon and the [Dm]congregation's rise
they cau[F]ght a crystal [C]vision of their futur[G]e
in each other's[Am] eyes
Chorus
Across that [F]big sandy river, what's [C]done has been done
No one k[G]nows who we are, no one k[Am]nows where we're from
We'll r[F]aise up a family, we'll [C]build us a home
but toni[G]ght, we're just [E7]shadows in the m[Am]oonlight
Her father hear[G]d a ladder land a[Dm]gainst the bedroom wall
came outside w[F]aving a p[C]istol yelling 'lea[G]ve my child alone!'
she ran[G] for the wagon while they s[Dm]truggled for the gun
it [F]went off, like a can[C]non, someone [G]cried
my God, what have I [Am]done
Chorus(1X) then to
Across that b[F]ig sandy river, what's d[C]one has been done
No one k[G]nows who we are, no one k[Am]nows where we're from
And I h[F]ope there'll be forgiveness [C]in the days yet to come
but toni[G]ght, we're just [E7]shadows in the [Am]moonlight
yes toni[G]ght, we're just [E7]shadows in the [Am]moonlight.
