Chords for Songs of Their Own - #1 "Black Muddy River" Luther Dickinson & Anders Osborne

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ It's the first song that I fell in love with. _ _ _
1986 I was living right outside
Solvang in California, Santa Annette Valley, and I was working as a chef.
_ Not a
very good one, but I kept trying.
And I had this _ 1971 _ Cadillac sedan DeVille,
had like a nice little pure green flake color to it, _ and we would ride the hills
and I remember this song came on.
[Fm] _ _
Anyway, [A] _ _ [G] I'll do [F] my best [A] on it. _
_ When _ _ _ _ _

_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ the [A] last rose of summer breaks [D] my finger, _ [A] _ _ and the _ hot [D] sun [A] chills me to the [D] bone,
_ when _ I [A] _
can't hear the song for [D] the _ _ [A] singer, _ and [F#m] I _ can't tell [E] my pillow from
[D] the stone, _ _ _ _ _ [E] yeah I will walk [A] _ alone [D] by the black [A] mighty river, _ and sing me [E] a song of
[D] my own, _ _ _ _ [E] yeah I will [A] walk alone _ [D] by the black mighty [A] _ [E] river, [F#m] and sing [E] me a song of [D] my own.
_ When the [A] last bolt [D] of [A] sunshine [D] hits the mountain, _ [A] and _ the stars start to [E] splatter [D] the sky,
and _ _ _ _ [A] when the moon splits [Dm] the [A] _ _ [D] southwest _ _ [A] horizon, _ _ [F#m] with a scream [E] of an eagle [D] on the fly,
_ _ _ _ [E] yeah I will [A] walk alone [D] by the black [A] mighty river, _ _ and listen to [E] the ripples _ [D] as they moan,
_ _ _ _ [E] yeah I will [A] walk alone [D] by the black [A] mighty river, _ [F#m] and _ sing [E] me a song [D] of my own.

_ [A] When it seems like the night [E] will [D] last _ forever, [A] _ _
_ and there's nothing left to do but count [D] the years, _ _ _
when the [A] strings of my _ heart [D] start to sever, [A] _ _
and the [F#m] stones fall [E] from my eyes instead [D] of tears, _ _ _ _
[E] yeah I will [A] walk alone [D] by the black [A] mighty river, _ and _ dream [E] me a dream of [D] my own, _ _ _ _ _
[E] yeah I will walk [A] _ alone [D] by the black [A] mighty river, _
_ [F#m] and sing [E] me a song of [D] my own, _ _ _ yeah [F#m] and sing [E] me a song of [D] my own. _ _ _ _ _
