G Dm She was raised in Kentucky in a good christian home F C G they had plans for her future that to them were carved in stone G Dm he came from West Virginia to work down at the mill F C G Am from his tiny window he could see her house up on the hill G Dm the first time that he saw her she was in her Sunday dress F C G he came to church in his working clothes trying to look his best G Dm somewhere between the sermon and the congregation's rise F C G they caught a crystal vision of their future Am in each other's eyes Chorus F C Across that big sandy river, what's done has been done G Am No one knows who we are, no one knows where we're from F C We'll raise up a family, we'll build us a home G E7 Am but tonight, we're just shadows in the moonlight G Dm Her father heard a ladder land against the bedroom wall F C G came outside waving a pistol yelling 'leave my child alone!' G Dm she ran for the wagon while they struggled for the gun F C G it went off, like a cannon, someone cried Am my God, what have I done Chorus(1X) then to F C Across that big sandy river, what's done has been done G Am No one knows who we are, no one knows where we're from F C And I hope there'll be forgiveness in the days yet to come G E7 Am but tonight, we're just shadows in the moonlight G E7 Am yes tonight, we're just shadows in the moonlight.
