Song In The Dark under the red rock rim Bonanza- lyrics
Chord progression - Am - E - Am///Am - Dm - Am - E - Am

Chorus:
Rim rim under the red rock rim... under the red rock rim...

Many a star shines down... down in the ground she lies... under an earthly mound... that's where her spirit lies...

Chorus:

She was young and so fair... cheated and lied you see. so with a deadly care, he set her spirit free.

Chorus:

Lonely as he can be... riding on endlessly... lonely as he can be... his spirits never dreams...

Rim Rim under the red rock rim... that's where to look for him... Rim Rim under the red rock rim... that's where to look for him... under the red rock rim...
