Black muddy river – Grateful Dead

Intro: Vers 1 – 3

G C G
When the last rose of summer pricks my finger
G C
And the hot sun chills me to the bone
G C G
When I can't hear the song for the singer
Em D C
And I can't tell my pillow from a stone

Refrain:

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

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

Refrain:

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

G C G
When it seems like the night will last forever

And there's nothing left to do but count the years
G C G
When the strings of my heart start to sever

And stones fall from my eyes instead of tears
