Introduction:

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."
        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.
