ABmDA
When the last rose of summer pricks my finger
ABmD
And the hot sun chills me to the bone
ABmDA
When I can't hear the song for the singer
F#mED
And I can't tell my pillow from a stone
EADA
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
F#mED
And sing me a song of my own
EADA
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
F#mED
And dream me a dream of my own
When the last bolt of sunshine hits the mountain
And the stars start to splatter in the sky
When the moon splits the southwest horizon
With the scream of an eagle on the fly
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And listen to the ripples as they moan
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And sing me a song of my own
BmE
Black muddy river
AF#m
Roll on forever
EA
Don't care how deep or wide
EA
If you got another side
DC#m (or A/C# )
Roll muddy river
Bm(7)A
Roll muddy river
DEA
Black muddy river roll
When it seems like the night will last forever
And there's nothing left to do but count the years
When the strings of my heart start to sever
And stones fall from my eyes instead of tears
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And dream me a dream of my own
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And sing me a song of my own
And sing me a song of my own
