I decided to put the chords up because no-one else has yet. I personallly think this
song sounds better with capo on the second fret. and when you start the song hammer on the
E string twice.
Capo 2nd
Intro: G,C,D,Em,C,D,G
[G]baby's gone and i don't know w[C]hy
she h[D]eaded out this m[Em]orning
like a rusty shot in a hollow [C]sky
she l[D]eft me without w[G]arning
[G]sooner than the dogs could bar[C]k
[D]faster than the [Em]sun rose
down to the banks in an old mu[C]le cart
she t[D]ook a flat boat [G]'cross the shallows
left me in my t[C]ears to drown
she l[D]eft a baby dau[Em]ghter
now the river's wide and deep and b[C]rown
she's c[D]rossing muddy w[G]aters
[G]tobacco standing in the fields[C]
be[D] rotten come nov[Em]ember
and a bitter heart will not re[C]veal
a spr[D]ing that love re[G]members
when that sweet brown girl of mine
hair black as a raven
we broke the bread and drank the wine
left me in my t[C]ears to drown
she l[D]eft a baby dau[Em]ghter
now the river's wide and deep and b[C]rown
she's c[D]rossing muddy w[G]aters
baby's crying and the daylight's gone
that big oak tree is groaning
in a rush of wind and a river song
i can hear my true love moaning
crying for her baby child
oh crying for her husband
crying for that rivers wild
to take her from her loved ones
left me in my t[C]ears to drown
she l[D]eft a baby dau[Em]ghter
now the river's wide and deep and b[C]rown
she's c[D]rossing muddy w[G]aters
now the river's wide and deep and b[C]rown
she's c[D]rossing muddy w[G]aters
