Moody River

• G

CHORUS:
G            Em           G                Em
Moody River, more deadly, than the vainest knife.
G                 G7           C              G   Em
Moody River, your muddy water, took my baby's life.

#1.
Em            B7       Em                  B7
Last Saturday evening, came to the old Oak tree.
Em                   B7           C                G Em
It stands beside the river, where you were to meet me.

#2.
Em                 B7                    Em
On the ground your glove I found, with a note
             B7
addressed to me.
   Em                    B7          
It read, Dear love, I've done you wrong,
    C              G   Em
now I must set you free.

#3.
Em        B7                   Em            B7
No longer can I live with this hurt and this sin,
  Em            B7             C              G     Em
I just couldn't tell you, that guy was just a friend.

CHORUS:
G            Em           G                Em
Moody River, more deadly, than the vainest knife.
G                 G7           C              G   Em
Moody River, your muddy water, took my baby's life.

#4.
  Em              B7               Em           B7
I looked into the muddy water, and what could I see?
  Em            B7               C               G  Em
I saw a lonely, lonely face just looking back at me.

#5.
Em           B7          Em            B7
Tears in his eyes, and a prayer on his lips,
Em               B7             C            G   Em
and the glove of his lost love, at his fingertips.

CHORUS:
G            Em           G                Em
Moody River, more deadly, than the vainest knife.
G                 G7           C              G   Em
Moody River, your muddy water, took my baby's life.
