Black Muddy River
A E A D A E A D A
When the last rose of summer pricks my finger,
A E A D A E A D
And the hot sun chills me to the bone,
A E A D A E A D A
When I can't hear the song for the singer,
F#m E D SN Bass C# B G# E
And I can't tell my pillow from a stone,
Chorus:
E A D A
I will walk alone by the black muddy river,
E D
And sing me a song of my own,
E A D A
I will walk alone by the black muddy river,
F#m E D
And sing me a song of my own.
When the last bolt of sunshine hits the mountain,
And the stars start to splatter in the sky,
When the moon hits the southwest horizon,
With the scream of an eagle on the fly,
Chorus
Bridge:
Bm E A A/G# F#m
Black muddy river, roll on forever,
E A E A
I don't care how deep or wide, if you've got another side,
D A D A D E A
Roll muddy river, roll muddy river, black muddy river, roll.
Jam Verse -Bridge
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 begin to sever,
And stones fall from my eyes instead of tears,
Chorus (Dream me a dream of my own)
(sing me a song of my own)
