CHORUS:
G5            E5           G5                E5
Moody River, more deadly, than the vainest knife.
G5                 G5           C5              G5   E5
Moody River, your muddy water, took my baby's life.

#1.
E5            B5       E5                  B5
Last Saturday evening, came to the old Oak tree.
E5                   B5           C5                G5 E5
It stands beside the river, where you were to meet me.

#2.
E5                 B5                    E5
On the ground your glove I found, with a note
             B5
addressed to me.
   E5                    B5          
It read, Dear love, I've done you wrong,
    C5              G5   E5
now I must set you free.

#3.
E5        B5                   E5            B5
No longer can I live with this hurt and this sin,
  E5            B5             C5              G5     E5
I just couldn't tell you, that guy was just a friend.

CHORUS:
G5            E5           G5                E5
Moody River, more deadly, than the vainest knife.
G5                 G5           C5              G5   E5
Moody River, your muddy water, took my baby's life.

#4.
  E5              B5               E5           B5
I looked into the muddy water, and what could I see?
  E5            B5               C5               G5  E5
I saw a lonely, lonely face just looking back at me.

#5.
E5           B5          E5            B5
Tears in his eyes, and a prayer on his lips,
E5               B5             C5            G5   E5
and the glove of his lost love, at his fingertips.

CHORUS:
G5            E5           G5                E5
Moody River, more deadly, than the vainest knife.
G5                 G5           C5              G5   E5
Moody River, your muddy water, took my baby's life.
