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


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

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


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