[Intro]

G6G6 E minorEm  B7B7  E minorEm  B7B7

E minorEm   B7B7   C majorC  G+G  G6G6

[Verse 1]
E minorEm      B7B7     E minorEm         B7B7
Last Saturday evening I came to the old oak tree
E minorEm          B7B7     C majorC        G+G  G6G6
It stands beside the river where you were to meet me
E minorEm         B7B7          E minorEm        B7B7
On the ground your glove I found with a note addressed to me
    E minorEm          B7B7         C majorC       G+G   G6G6
And it read "Dear Love, I've done you wrong, now I must set you free"

[Chorus]
B7B7      E minorEm     B7B7        E minorEm
Moody River, more deadly than the vainest knife
B7B7        G+G     G/AG/A G/BG/B C majorC       G+G   G6G6
Moody River, your muddy water     took my baby's life

[Instrumental Break]
E minorEm  B7B7  E minorEm  B7B7

E minorEm   B7B7   C majorC  G+G  G6G6

[Verse 2]
E minorEm         B7B7        E minorEm     B7B7
I looked into your muddy waters and what did I see
E minorEm       B7B7       C majorC        G+G  G6G6
I saw a lonely, lonely man just looking back at me
E minorEm        B7B7     E minorEm      B7B7
Tears were in his eyes and a prayer on his lips
  E minorEm        B7B7         C majorC       G+G   G6G6
And with the glove of his lost love there at his finger tips


[Chorus]
B7B7      E minorEm     B7B7        E minorEm
Moody River, more deadly than the vainest knife
B7B7        G+G     G/AG/A G/BG/B C majorC       G+G
Moody River, your muddy water     took my baby's life

[outro]
B7B7        G+G     G/AG/A G/BG/B C majorC       G+G   G6G6
Moody River, your muddy waters     took my baby's life
