Black Muddy River Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][Em][D][C]

[Verse 1]
When the [G]last rose
of summer pricks my [C]finger[G]
And the hot sun chills me to the [C]bone
When I [G]can't hear the song
[C]for the singer
[G]And I can't [Em]tell my [D]pillow from a [C]stone

[Verse 2]
[D]I will walk a[G]lone by the b[C]lack muddy r[G]iver
And sing me a [D]song of my [C]own
[D]I will walk alo[G]ne by the bla[C]ck muddy riv[G]er
[Em]And sing me a song[D] of my o[C]wn

[Verse 3]
When the [G]last bolt of sunshine
hits the [C]mountain[G]
And the stars start to splatter in the [C]sky[Am]
[C]When the moo[G]n splits
the southwest [C]horizon
[G]With the scr[Em]eam of an [D]eagle on the fly[C]

[Verse 4]
[D]I will walk a[G]lone by the
[C]black muddy [G]river
And listen [D]to the ripples as they [C]moan[D]
I will walk [G]alone by the
[C]black muddy [G]river
[Em]And sing me a [D]song of [C]my own

[Verse 5]
[Am]
Black muddy [D]river
[G]Roll [D]on [Em]forever
I don't [D]care how deep or [G]wide
If you [D]got another [G]side
[C]Roll muddy [G]river[C][Am]
Roll muddy [G]river[C]
Black muddy [D]river roll

[Interlude 1]
[G][C]
[G][C][Am][G][C][D][G]

[Verse 6]
When it [G]seems like the night
will last [C]forever[G]
And there's nothing left to do
but count the [C]years[Am][C]
When [G]the strings of my
heart start to [C]sever[G]
And [Em]stones fall from [D]my
eyes instead of [C]tears

[Verse 7]
[D]I will walk a[G]lone by
[C]the black muddy [G]river
And dream me a [D]dream of my [C]own[D]
I will walk [G]alone by the
[C]black muddy [G]river
[Em]And sing me a [D]song of [C]my own
[Em]And sing me a song[D] of my o[C]wn

[Outro 1]
