Verse

A       D   A
When the last rose of summer pricks my finger
AD
And the hot sun chills me to the bone
A D  A
When I can't tell hear the song for the singer
F#-             E            D
And I can't tell my pillow from a stone

Bridge

E           A              D           A
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
F#-          E             D     
And sing me a song of my own
E           A              D           A
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
F#-         E              D
And sing me a song of my own

Chorus

B-             Em
Black muddy river
Am   A/G     F#-
Roll on forever
E                           A             
I don't care how deep or wide
 E              A
If you got another side
D           A
Roll muddy river
D           A
Roll muddy river
D        E          A
Black muddy river roll





When the last bolt of sunshine hits the mountain
And the stars start to splatter in the sky
When the moon splits the southwest horizon
With the scream of an eagle on the fly

I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And listen to the ripples as they moan
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And sing me a song of my own

Black muddy river
Roll on forever
I don't care how deep or wide
If you got another side
Roll muddy river
Roll muddy river
Black muddy river roll

When it seems like the night will last forever
And there's nothing left to do but count the years
When the strings of my heart start to sever
And stones fall from my eyes instead of tears

I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And dream me a dream of my own
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And sing me a song of my own
And sing me a song of my own
