Muddy Waters - The Seldom Scene

Em

Em       B7       Em
Mary take the baby, river's rising
G       A         B7
Muddy water's takin' back the land
Em             B7      Em
Old frame house it can't take one more beating
 B7                Em
Ain't no use to stay and make a stand.

Em             B7      EM
The morning light showed water in the valley
G         A       B7
Daddy's grave just went below the line
Em         B7             Em
Things to save you just can't take them with you
             B7       Em
The flood will swallow  all you leave behind.

G             D
Won't be back to start all over
G             B7
Lord what I felt before is gone
Em       B7        Em
Mary take the child, river's rising
G       B7       Em
Muddy water's taking back our home.

Instrumental:(follow pattern of first verse)
Em            B7       Em
The road is gone there's just one way to leave here.
G        A        B7
Turn my back on what I've left  below
Em         B7      Em
Shifting lands and broken farms around me
        B7       Em
Muddy water's changin' all I know.

G             D
Hard to say just what I'm losing
G            B7
Ain't never felt so all alone
Em      B7       Em
Mary take the child, river's rising
G       B7       Em
Muddy water's taking back my home.

    G      B7       Em
Well muddy water's taking back my home.
