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.
