[Verse 1]
Em            B7         Em                 B7
Last Saturday evening I came to the old oak tree 
Em                   B7          C                G    G6
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              G     G6
And it read "Dear Love, I've done you wrong, now I must set you free" 

[Chorus]
B7           Em          B7                Em
Moody River, more deadly than the vainest knife 
B7                G          G/A G/B  C              G     G6
Moody River, your muddy water         took my baby's life

[Verse 2]
Em                 B7               Em         B7
I looked into your muddy waters and what did I see 
Em              B7              C               G    G6
I saw a lonely, lonely man just looking back at me 
Em                B7         Em            B7
Tears were in his eyes and a prayer on his lips 
    Em                B7                  C             G     G6
And with the glove of his lost love there at his finger tips 


[Chorus]
B7           Em          B7               Em
Moody River, more deadly than the vainest knife 
B7                G          G/A G/B  C              G     
Moody River, your muddy water         took my baby's life
