๐ŸŽธ Chorus: D Em Hey buddy, hey buddy, ain't that Mississippi muddy G A D In this town, well, yeah, she takes what you give her D So tonight I lay me down to sleep Em And pray my soul and my secret to keep G A D Between you, me and the river ๐ŸŽธ Verse 2: D It's been a long week working overtime Em That's why I got home early tonight G A D And when I saw your car I could smell the trouble D So I turned off my hะตadlights Em7 And saw your silhouettes through candlelight G A D And I wะตnt to the shed to get my shovel ๐ŸŽธ Chorus: D Em7 Hey buddy, hey buddy, ain't that Mississippi muddy G A D In this town, well, yeah, she takes what you give her D So tonight I lay me down to sleep Em7 And pray my soul and my secret to keep G A D Between you, me and the river Harmonica ๐ŸŽธ Solo: G F D G D G F D ๐ŸŽธ Verse 3: D They're gonna come knockin', it's a matter of time Em The last goodbye, my alibi G A D And where Clementine ran off to, they'll wonder D I won't tell 'em she's cheatin' on me Em But I'll smile at the memory G A D Of my diamond on her hand as she went under ๐ŸŽธ Chorus: D Em7 Hey buddy, hey buddy, ain't that Mississippi muddy G A D In this town, well, yeah, she takes what you give her D So tonight I lay me down to sleep Em7 And pray my soul and my secret to keep G A D Between you, me and the river G A D Between you, me and the river ๐ŸŽธ Outro: D
