Black Muddy River chords by Norma Waterson

Chords with lyrics

C majorC               FF C majorC
When the last rose of summer pricks my finger
    C majorC    FF        A minorAm
And the hot sun chills me to the bone
    C majorC              FF  C majorC
When I can't hear the song for the singer
   A minorAm      G+G       FF
And I can't tell my pillow from a stone
G+G      C majorC      FF      C majorC
I will walk alone by the black muddy river


  A minorAm    G+G     FF
And sing me a song of my own
G+G      C majorC      FF      C majorC
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
  A minorAm    G+G     C majorC
And sing me a song of my own

     C majorC               FF  C majorC
When the last bolt of sunshine hits the mountain
    C majorC       FF        A minorAm
And the stars start to splatter in the sky
     C majorC             FF  C majorC
When the moon splits the southwest horizon
     A minorAm      G+G      FF
With the scream of an eagle on the fly
G+G      C majorC      FF      C majorC
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
  A minorAm      G+G        FF
And listen to the ripples as they moan
G+G      C majorC      FF      C majorC
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
A minorAm      G+G     C majorC
And sing me a song of my own

A minorAm     E minorEm
Black muddy river
A minorAm   E minorEm
Roll on forever
G+G            C majorC
I don't care how deep or wide
G+G         C majorC
If you got another side
A minorAm     E minorEm
Roll muddy river
A minorAm     E minorEm
Roll muddy river
A minorAm     G+G   C majorC
Black muddy river roll

C majorC                   FF  C majorC
When it seems like the night will last forever
      C majorC        FF        A minorAm
And there's nothing left to do but count the years
     C majorC              FF C majorC
When the strings of my heart begin to sever
  A minorAm         G+G        FF
And stones fall from my eyes instead of tears

G+G      C majorC      FF      C majorC
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
  A minorAm     G+G        FF
And dream de a dream all of my own
G+G      C majorC      FF      C majorC
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
A minorAm      G+G     C majorC
And sing me a song of my own
