[G] I will [C] walk [F] alone by the black [C] muddy river [Am] And sing [G] me a song [F] of my own
[G] I [C] will walk [F] alone by the [C] black muddy river [Am] And sing [G] me a song [F] of my own
[C] When the last bolt [D] of sunshine hits the [C] mountain And the stars start to splatter [F] in the sky
[Dm] When [C] the moon splits the [D] southwest [C] horizon [A] With the [G] scream of an eagle on the fly
I will walk [F] alone by the [C] black muddy [A] river And listen [G] to the ripples [F] as they fall
[G] I will [C] walk alone [F] by the black [C] muddy river [A] And sing [G] me a song [F] of my own
