Chorus:
GEmGEm
Moody River, more deadly, than the vainest knife.
GG7CGEm
Moody River, your muddy water, took my baby's life.
#1.
EmB7EmB7
Last Saturday evening, came to the old Oak tree.
EmB7CGEm
It stands beside the river, where you were to meet me.
#2.
EmB7Em
On the ground your glove I found, with a note
B7
addressed to me.
EmB7
It read, Dear love, I've done you wrong,
CGEm
now I must set you free.
#3.
EmB7EmB7
No longer can I live with this hurt and this sin,
EmB7CGEm
I just couldn't tell you, that guy was just a friend.
Chorus:
GEmGEm
Moody River, more deadly, than the vainest knife.
GG7CGEm
Moody River, your muddy water, took my baby's life.
#4.
EmB7EmB7
I looked into the muddy water, and what could I see?
EmB7CGEm
I saw a lonely, lonely face just looking back at me.
#5.
EmB7EmB7
Tears in his eyes, and a prayer on his lips,
EmB7CGEm
and the glove of his lost love, at his fingertips.
Chorus:
GEmGEm
Moody River, more deadly, than the vainest knife.
GG7CGEm
Moody River, your muddy water, took my baby's life.
