    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
    Black muddy river – Grateful Dead

    Bridge:

    Am D
    Black muddy river
    G D/F# Em
    Roll on forever
    D G
    Don't care how deep or wide
    D G
    If you got another side
    C G/B
    Roll muddy river
    Am7 G
    Roll muddy river
    C D G
    Black muddy river roll

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

    Refrain:

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