Moody River

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 .
