Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:2nd fret
[Intro]
G C D Em
Em C D G G
[Verse 1]
G C
Baby's gone and I don't know why
D Em
She headed out this morning
Em C
Like a rusty shot in a hollow sky
D G
She left me without warning
[Verse 2]
G C
Sooner than the dogs could bark
D Em
Faster than the sun rose
Em C
Down to the banks on an old mule cart
D G
She took a flat boat 'cross the shallows
[Chorus]
C
Left me in my tears to drown
D Em
She left a baby daughter
Em C
Now the river's wide and deep and brown
D G
She's crossing muddy waters
[Instrumental]
G C D Em
Em C D G
[Verse 3]
G C
Tobacco standing in the fields
D Em
Be rotten come November
Em C
And a bitter heart will not reveal
D G
A spring that love remembers
[Verse 4]
G C
When that sweet brown girl of mine
D Em
Hair black as a raven
Em C
We broke the bread and drank the wine
D G
From a jug that she'd been saving
[Chorus]
C
Left me in my tears to drown
D Em
She left a baby daughter
Em C
Now the river's wide and deep and brown
D G
She's crossing muddy waters
[Instrumental]
G C D Em
Em C D G G
[Verse 5]
G C
Baby's crying and the daylight's gone
D Em
That big oak tree is groaning
Em C
In a rush of wind and a river song
D G
I can hear my true love moaning
[Chorus B]
C
Crying for her baby child
D Em
Oh, crying for her husband
Em C
Crying for that rivers wild
D G
To take her from her loved ones
[Chorus]
C
Left me in my tears to drown
D Em
She left a baby daughter
Em C
Now the river's wide and deep and brown
D G
She's crossing muddy waters
G C
Now the river's wide and deep and brown
D G
She's crossing muddy waters
[Ending]
G C D G
