Grateful Dead – Black Muddy River chords

         A            Bm               D  AWhen the last rose of summer pricks my finger
        A       Bm               DAnd the hot sun chills me to the bone
       A              Bm           D   AWhen I can't hear the song for the singer
      F#m           E             DAnd I can't tell my pillow from a stone
E            A           D           AI will walk alone by the black muddy river
    F#m       E          DAnd sing me a song of my own
E            A           D           AI will walk alone by the black muddy river
    F#m        E           DAnd dream me a dream of my own
When the last bolt of sunshine hits the mountain
And the stars start to splatter in the sky
When the moon splits the southwest horizon
With the scream of an eagle on the fly
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And listen to the ripples as they moan
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And sing me a song of my own
Bm           E Black muddy river
A          F#mRoll on forever
      E                ADon't care how deep or wide
E                  AIf you got another side
D          C#m (or A/C#)Roll muddy river
Bm(7)      ARoll muddy river
D           E      ABlack muddy  river roll
When it seems like the night will last forever
And there's nothing left to do but count the years
When the strings of my heart start to sever
And stones fall from my eyes instead of tears
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And dream me a dream of my own
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And sing me a song of my own
And sing me a song of my own
