Last Saturday evening, came to the old Oak tree.
Gm7                  D7           Eb               Bb Gm7
It stands beside the river, where you were to meet me.

Gm7                D7                    Gm7
On the ground your glove I found, with a note
             D7
addressed to me.
   Gm7                   D7
It read, Dear love, I've done you wrong,
    Eb             Bb  Gm7
now I must set you free.

No longer can I live with this hurt and this sin,
  Gm7           D7             Eb             Bb    Gm7
I just couldn't tell you, that guy was just a friend.

  Gm7             D7               Gm7          D7
I looked into the muddy water, and what could I see?
  Gm7           D7               Eb              Bb Gm7
I saw a lonely, lonely face just looking back at me.
 
#5.
Gm7          D7          Gm7           D7
Tears in his eyes, and a prayer on his lips,
Gm7              D7             Eb           Bb  Gm7
and the glove of his lost love, at his fingertips.

Moody River, more deadly, than the vainest knife.

Moody River, your muddy water, took my baby's life.
