Johnny Cash - Muddy Waters: chords

Cm             G            Cm
Mary grab the baby river's risin'
D#          Fm               G7
Muddy water taking back the land
Cm                   G                  Cm
Old frame house she can't take no more beatin'
                  G               Cm
Ain't no use to stay and make a stand

Well, the morning light showed water in the valley
Daddy's grave just went below the line
Things to save, you just can't take them with you
The flood will swallow all you leave behind

Chorus:
D#                         A#7
Won't be back to start all over
D#                              G7
Cause what I've held before is gone
Cm              G                Cm
Mary take the child the river's risin'
D#           G              Cm
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, oh
Shifting lands, broken farms around me
Muddy waters changing all I know

Chorus:
Hard to say just what I'm losing
I've never felt so all alone
Mary, take the child, river's rising
Muddy water taking back my home

Chorus:
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 taking back my home.
That muddy water taking back my home
Muddy water’s taking back my home.
Lord muddy water taking back my home
