Black Muddy River Chords

(ver. 3)
Grateful Dead
         A            Bm               D  A
When the last rose of summer pricks my finger
        A       Bm               D
And the hot sun chills me to the bone
       A              Bm           D   A
When I can't hear the song for the singer
      F#m           E             D
And I can't tell my pillow from a stone
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
E            A           D           A
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
    F#m        E           D
And dream me a dream of my own
          A            Bm               D  A
When the last bolt of sunshine hits the mountain
        A       Bm                     D
And the stars start to splatter in the sky
         A            Bm             D  A     
When the moon splits the southwest horizon
          A           Bm           D
With the scream of an eagle on the fly
E            A           D           A
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
    F#m           E               D
And listen to the ripples as they moan
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
Bm           E
 Black muddy river
A          F#m
Roll on forever
      E                A
Don't care how deep or wide
E                  A
If you got another side
D          C#m (or A/C#)
Roll muddy river
Bm      A
Roll muddy river
D           E      A
Black muddy  river roll
         A             Bm               D  A
When it seems like the night will last forever
     A       Bm                              D
And there's nothing left to do but count the years
         A             Bm             D  A 
When the strings of my heart start to sever
     A                  Bm              D
And stones fall from my eyes instead of tears
E            A           D           A
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
    F#m        E           D
And dream me a dream 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
    F#m        E           D
And sing me a song of my own
