Moody river(Chords)

	        
G            Em          G                Em 
Moody river, more deadly than the vainest knife, 
 
G                 G7           C  C/B Am7 Am7/G  G 
Moody river, your muddy water took my ba - by's life.
 
 
 
Em            B7        Em                  B7 
Last Saturday evenin', came to the old oak tree; 
 
    Em                B7          C  C/B  Am7   Am7/G  G 
It stands beside the river where you     were to meet  me. 
 
Em                  B7                  Em               B7 
On the ground your glove I found with a note addressed to me, 
 
   Em                     B7                 C  C/B  Am7 Am7/G  G 
It read 'Dear love, I've done you wrong, now I must  set  you free.' 
 
Em          B7                   Em            B7 
'No longer can I live with this hurt and this sin, 
 
Em                B7            C  C/B  Am7 Am7/G   G  
'I just couldn't tell you that guy was just   a   friend.' 
 
 
Repeat Refrain: 
 
   Em              B7             Em           B7 
I looked into the muddy water and what could I see? 
 
   Em            B7               C    C/B  Am7  Am7/G  G 
I saw a lonely, lonely face just look - in' back  at    me. 
 
Em            B7         Em             B7 
Tears in his eyes, and a prayer on his lips, 
 
Em               B7            C  C/B Am7  Am7/G   G 
And the glove of his lost love at his fin - ger - tips. 
 
 
Repeat Refrain:
