[Intro]
Em C D Em C D Em
[Verse 1]
Em CJust south of Atoka, that red river runs
D EmThat yellow moon hanging in the sky
CThem stars started falling when I looked into her eyes
D Em C D EmAnd that night, we said forever and forever 'til we die
[Verse 2]
Em CDays, they faded into years and we lost track of time
D EmI was hers and no doubt she was mine
CI was working for her daddy on that Okie-Texas line
D EmWorking for a dollar, sweating for a dime
[Chorus]
C GAin’t love so sweet?
D EmWhen it's right, oh, when it's clean
C GBut that devil has a way
D EmAnd that muddy water washed it all away
[Verse 3]
Em CI saw the lies and silencе, I could see it in her eyes
D EmShе’d never admit it, but her heart was cutting ties
COne night, I had too much to drink and I found out what she did
D EmI drug her down to that river and dropped her off that bridge
[Chorus]
C GAin't love so sweet?
D EmWhen it's right, oh, when it's clean
C GBut that devil has a way
D Em C D EmAnd that muddy water washed her soul away
[Guitar Solo]
Em C D Em
[Bridge]
Em CI still hear her voice at night just pounding in my head
D EmI gave 'em one more reason to call that river red
[Chorus]
C GAin't love so sweet?
D EmWhen it's right, oh, when it's clean
C GBut that devil has a way
D EmAnd that muddy water washed her soul away
D Em GAnd that muddy water washed her soul away
[Outro]
D N.C. EmAnd that muddy water washed her soul away
