F  C  Gm  C  F

[Verse 1]
F
Out into the moonlight
C
I could never fail
C
Down by the turkey creek
F
To find that old trail
F
The river she's a flowin'
C
I'm rememberin' the night
C
Before I knew she was goin'
F
She was clean outta sight

[Chorus]
F            A#      F       C
That muddy water keeps on rollin'
           Gm                       C
Like the buffalo, she keeps movin' on
F                A#      F         C
From that bayou town my heart was stolen
                Gm                   C
Like the water rollin' out with the tide
                  F
She was here and gone

[Bridge]
F  C   Gm  C   F

[Verse 2]
F
There ain't no magic in the moonlight
C
No feelin' in the wind
C
But I know the stars are just as bright
F                     Dm
Somewhere around the bend
Dm
She takes a bit of everthin'
G
Just which ever way she flows
C
Now a thought is all she brings
F
And that's the way it goes

[Chorus]
F            A#    F        C
That muddy water keeps on rollin'
           Gm                      C
Like the buffalo, she keeps movin' on
F                 A#     F          C
From that bayou town my heart was stolen
                 Gm                  C
Like the water rollin' out with the tide
                  F
She was here and gone
