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: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.
