Moody River Chords & Lyrics - Pat Boone

INTRO: [G] [Em] [G] [Em]
G Em (x2).....Moody River.....Moody River...

[CHORUS]
[G]Moody River, [Em]more deadly, [G]than the vainest [Em]knife.
[G]Moody River, your [G7]muddy water, [C]took my baby's [G]life[Em] .

#1.
[Em]Last Saturday [B7]evening, [Em]came to the old Oak [B7]tree.
[Em]It stands beside the [B7]river, where [C]you were to meet [G]me[Em] .

#2.
[Em]On the ground your [B7]glove I found, with a [Em]note
addressed to [B7]me.
It [Em]read, Dear love, I've [B7]done you wrong,
now [C]I must set you [G]free[Em] .

#3.
[Em]No longer [B7]can I live with this [Em]hurt and this [B7]sin,
I [Em]just couldn't [B7]tell you, that [C]guy was just a [G]friend[Em] .

[CHORUS]
[G]Moody River, [Em]more deadly, [G]than the vainest [Em]knife.
[G]Moody River, your [G7]muddy water, [C]took my baby's [G]life[Em] .

#4.
I [Em]looked into the [B7]muddy water, and [Em]what could I [B7]see?
I [Em]saw a lonely, [B7]lonely face just [C]looking back at [G]me.[Em]

#5.
[Em]Tears in his [B7]eyes, and a [Em]prayer on his [B7]lips,
[Em]and the glove of [B7]his lost love, [C]at his finger[G]tips[Em] .

[CHORUS]
[G]Moody River, [Em]more deadly, [G]than the vainest [Em]knife.
[G]Moody River, your [G7]muddy water, [C]took my baby's [G]life[Em] .

OUTRO: [G] [Em] (x2) (Fade.)
