_ _ [E] _ [F#m] _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Baby's gone and I don't [D] know why
_ _ [E] She let [F#] out this [F#m] morning
Like a rusty shot in a [D] hollow sky
She [A] [E] left me [A] without _ warning
_ _ _ Sooner than the [D] dogs could bark
_ [E] Faster [F#m] than the sun rose
_ Down to the banks on an [D] old new car
She took [E] a flat [A] boat across the shallow
_ Left me [D] in my tears to drown
_ _ She _ _ [E] left a [F#] baby daughter
[F#m] _ _
Now the river's wide and deep [D] and brown
_ [E] She's crossing [A] muddy _ water
_ _ [F#m] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[E] _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ Tobacco's standing in the [D] fields
_ [A] [E] Beer outing [F#m] come November
_ _ And a bitter heart will not [D] reveal
_ _ [E] Spring that [A] love remembered
_ When _ that sweet brown [D] girl of mine
_ [E] Hair black [F#] as a [F#m] raven
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 _ drown _ _ _
_ [E] She left a [F#] baby daughter
[F#m] _ _
Now the river's wide and deep [D] and brown
_ [E] She's [A] crossing muddy water _
_ [F#m] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[E] _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Baby's crying and the [D] daylight's gone _
[E] That big [F#m] old tree is _ groaning _
In a rush of wind and a [D] river song
I [E] can hear my [A] true love _ moaning _
Crying [D] for her baby _ _ _ child
_ _ _ _ [E] _ Crying [F#] for her husband
[F#m] _ _ Crying _ for that [D] river's wild
_ [E] To take her [A] from her loved ones
Left me in [D] my _ tears to drown _ _
She _ [E] _ [A] left a [F#] baby daughter
[F#m] _ _ _ Now the river's wide and deep [D] and brown
_ [E] She's [A] crossing muddy water
Now _ the river's wide and deep [D] and brown
_ [E] She's crossing [A] muddy _ water
