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: F,F,G,Am,F,G,F
Fbaby's gone and i don't know wFhy
she hGeaded out this mAmorning
like a rusty shot in a hollow Fsky
she lGeft me without wFarning
Fsooner than the dogs could barFk
Gfaster than the Amsun rose
down to the banks in an old muFle cart
she tGook a flat boat F'cross the shallows
left me in my tFears to drown
she lGeft a baby dauAmghter
now the river's wide and deep and bFrown
she's cGrossing muddy wFaters
Ftobacco standing in the fieldsF
beG rotten come novAmember
and a bitter heart will not reFveal
a sprGing that love reFmembers
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 tFears to drown
she lGeft a baby dauAmghter
now the river's wide and deep and bFrown
she's cGrossing muddy wFaters
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 tFears to drown
she lGeft a baby dauAmghter
now the river's wide and deep and bFrown
she's cGrossing muddy wFaters
now the river's wide and deep and bFrown
she's cGrossing muddy wFaters
