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.
