[F#m] [D] [E]
[F#m]
[D] [E] [F#m] [A]
Baby's gone and I don't [D] know why
She [E]
lit [F#m] out this morning
Like a rusty shot in a [D] hollow sky
She [A]
[E] left me [A] without warning
Sooner than the [D] dogs could walk
[E]
Faster [F#m] than the Sun Rode
Down to the banks on an [D] old new car
She [E] took a flat [A] boat cross the shallow
Left me [D] in my tears to drown
She [E] left a [F#] baby daughter
[F#m] Now the river is wide and deep [D] and brown
[E] She's crossing [A] muddy water
[F#m] [D]
[E] [F#m]
[D]
[E] [A]
Tobacco standing in the [D] fields
[A] [E] Be rotten [F#m] come November
And a bitter heart will not [D] reveal
[E]
Spring that [A] love remember
When that sweet brown [D] girl my [E]
hair black [F#] eyes are a
[F#m] We broke the bread and [D] drank the wine [E] from a jug that [A] she'd been saving
Left me [D] in my tears to dry
She [E] left a [F#] baby daughter
[F#m] Now the river is wide and deep [D] and brown [E] she's crossing
[A]
[F#m] Babies [D]
[E] [F#m]
[D]
[A]
crying in the [D] daylight's gone
[E] That big old [F#m] tree is growing
In a rush of wind and a [D] river song [E] I can hear my [A] true love
Crying [D] for a baby Child
[E] Or crying [F#] for a [F#m] husband
Crying for that [D] rivers wild [E] to take her [A] from her loved ones
Left me [D] in my tears to drown
She [E]
[A] left a [F#] baby daughter
[F#m] Now the river is wide and deep [D] and brown
[E] She's crossing [A] muddy water
Now the river is wide and deep [D] and brown [E] she's crossing
[A] [F#m] [D] [A]
