Backwater chords by Meat Puppets
Guitar chords with lyrics
Here is a general transcription of "Backwater" by Meat puppets. I didn't have time to nail down the bridge so you'll have to do some interpreting on your own. (I'll work more on it later). The intro lick that I have transcribed is also just an approximation of what is played. It's a simple lick in E major pentatonic that you should be able to pick out purely by ear. I'll follow up with more detail in a few days. Meanwhile we can get started on it.
