Moody River

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

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

Em                 B7            
On the ground your glove I found,
        Em

             B7
addressed to me.

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

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

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

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

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