Capo: 2
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
Gbaby's gone and i don't know wChy
she hDeaded out this mEmorning
like a rusty shot in a hollow Csky
she lDeft me without wGarning
Gsooner than the dogs could barCk
Dfaster than the Emsun rose
down to the banks in an old muCle cart
she tDook a flat boat G'cross the shallows
left me in my tCears to drown
she lDeft a baby dauEmghter
now the river's wide and deep and bCrown
she's cDrossing muddy wGaters
Gtobacco standing in the fieldsC
beD rotten come novEmember
and a bitter heart will not reCveal
a sprDing that love reGmembers
when that sweet brown girl of mine
hair black as a raven
we broke the bread and drank the wine
from a jug that she'd been saving
left me in my tCears to drown
she lDeft a baby dauEmghter
now the river's wide and deep and bCrown
she's cDrossing muddy wGaters
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 tCears to drown
she lDeft a baby dauEmghter
now the river's wide and deep and bCrown
she's cDrossing muddy wGaters
now the river's wide and deep and bCrown
she's cDrossing muddy wGaters
