A        A    E       D      A
When the last rose of summer 
         D  A
pricks my finger
        A   E   D          A     
And the hot sun chills me to the 
D
bone
       A     E        D    A     
When I can't hear the song for 
  D  A
the singer,
      F#m           E             
And I can't tell my pillow from a 
D
stone,
E           A            D      
I will walk alone by the black 
     A
muddy river,
              E          D
And sing me a song of my own,
E            A           D      
I will walk alone by the black 
     A
muddy river,
    F#m       E          D
And sing me a song of my own.

A             E       D        
When the last bolt of sunshine 
A        D   A
hits the mountain
        A     E        D        
And the stars start to splatter 
A      D
in the sky
         A    E        D    A    
When the moon hits the southwest 
D   A
horizon
         F#m          E            
With the scream of an eagle on the 
D
fly
E           A            D      
I will walk alone by the black 
     A
muddy river
    F#m           E               
And listen to the ripples as they 
D
moan
  E         A            D       
I will walk alone by the black 
    A
muddy river
    F#m       E          D
And sing me a song of my own.

Bm          E      A    A/G#  
Black muddy river, roll on    
F#m
forever,
        E                A        
I don't care how deep or wide, if 
       E           A
you've got another side,
D          A      D          A 
Roll muddy river, roll muddy 
     D           E      A
river, black muddy river, roll.


A       A     E        D        
When it seems like the night 
  A    D   A
will last forever
A           A       E       D   
And there's nothing left to do 
   A         D
but count the years
A        A       E     D     A
When the strings of my heart 
        D   A
begin to sever
    F#m                 E         
And stones fall from my eyes 
      D
instead of tears
E           A             D     
I will walk alone, by the black 
      A
muddy river
    F#m        E           D
And dream me a dream of my own
E           A             D     
I will walk alone, by the black 
      A
muddy river,
    F#m       E          D    
And sing me a song of my own, 
F#m       E          D
sing me a song of my own.
