Grateful Dead – Black Muddy River (Guitar)

         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

    A         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 sing me a song 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

         F#m           E             D
With the scream of an eagle on the fly

E            A           D           A
I will walk alone by the black muddy river

    A             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(7)      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

      F#m               E               D
And stones fall from my eyes instead of tears

E            A           D           A
I will walk alone by the black muddy river

    A          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
