Artist/Band: Rose David Tabs
Song: Under the Red Rock Rim Tab
This strange, haunting song was specifically written for Episode 16 (Song in the Dark) in Season 4 of the TV show Bonanza. To hear
how it is played, do a youtube search for the episode of the TV show. There were no online tabs, soundtracks, or lyrics when I
looked so I took the time to figure out the chords from the youtube video of the show and the lyrics from a subtitles database. The
song is fun to play and makes you feel like a real cowboy when sung
Intro:
Bmin 4x
Chorus:
Bmin E Bmin
Rim, rim, under the red rock rim,
Bmin A Bmin E Bmin E
under the red rock rim.
Bmin A
Mary, a star, shines down,
Bmin A
down in the ground she lies,
G D
under an earthly mound,
F# Bmin 3x Bmin
that's where her spirit lies.
Chorus
Bmin A
She was young, so fair,
Bmin A
cheated and lied, you see,
G D
so with a deadly care,
F# Bmin 3x Bmin
he set her spirit free.
Chorus
Bmin A
Now every night he rides,
Bmin A
to that deserted place,
G D
there in the sands so white,
F# Bmin 3x Bmin
where he could see her face.
Chorus
Bmin A
Lonely as he can be,
Bmin A
riding on endlessly,
G D
lonely as he can be,
F# Bmin 3x Bmin
his spirit never free.
Bmin E Bmin
Rim, rim, under the red rock rim,
Bmin A Bmin
that's where to look for him.
Bmin E Bmin
Rim, rim, that's where to look for him,
Bmin A Bmin
under the red rock rim.
A Bmin
Rim, rim
