CHORUS:
Bb           Gm7          Bb               Gm7
Moody River, more deadly, than the vainest knife.
Bb                Bb7          Eb             Bb  Gm7
Moody River, your muddy water, took my baby's life.

#1.
Gm7           D7       Gm7                 D7
Last Saturday evening, came to the old Oak tree.
Gm7                  D7           Eb               Bb Gm7 
It stands beside the river, where you were to meet me.

#2.
Gm7                D7                    Gm7
On the ground your glove I found, with a note
             D7
addressed to me.
   Gm7                   D7
It read, Dear love, I've done you wrong,
    Eb             Bb  Gm7
now I must set you free.

#3.
Gm7       D7                   Gm7           D7
No longer can I live with this hurt and this sin,
  Gm7           D7             Eb             Bb    Gm7
I just couldn't tell you, that guy was just a friend.

CHORUS:
Bb           Gm7          Bb               Gm7
Moody River, more deadly, than the vainest knife.
Bb                Bb7          Eb             Bb  Gm7
Moody River, your muddy water, took my baby's life.

#4.
  Gm7             D7               Gm7          D7
I looked into the muddy water, and what could I see?
  Gm7           D7               Eb              Bb Gm7
I saw a lonely, lonely face just looking back at me.

#5.
Gm7          D7          Gm7           D7
Tears in his eyes, and a prayer on his lips,
Gm7              D7             Eb           Bb  Gm7
and the glove of his lost love, at his fingertips.

CHORUS:
Bb           Gm7          Bb               Gm7
Moody River, more deadly, than the vainest knife.
Bb                Bb7          Eb             Bb  Gm7
Moody River, your muddy water, took my baby's life.
