Muddy Water Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

 MEmary, grab the bB7aby, the river's rEmising

 MGuddy water tB7aking back the lEmand

 The old-frame house, she cB7an't take-a one more bEmeating

 AGin't no use to sB7tay and make a sEmtand

Well the morning light shows water in the valley

Daddy's grave just went below the line

Things to say, you just can't take'em with ya

This flood will swallow all you've left behind

G

E|-0-2-3-|

  WGon't be back to start all Dover

  G Cause what I felt before is B7gone

Mary, take the child, the river's rising

Muddy water taking back my home

The road is gone, there's just one way to leave here

Turn my back on what I've left below

Shifting land, broken farms around me

Muddy water's changing all I know

It's hard to say just what I'm losing

Ain't never felt so all alone

Mary, take the child, the river's rising

Muddy water taking back my home

Won't be back to start all over

Cause what I felt before is gone

Mary, take the child, the river's rising

Muddy water's changing all I know

Muddy water's changing all I know

Lord, this muddy water is taking back my home
