E minorEm

E minorEm       B7B7       E minorEm
Mary take the baby, river's rising
G+G       A augmentedA         B7B7
Muddy water's takin' back the land
E minorEm             B7B7      E minorEm
Old frame house it can't take one more beating
 B7B7                E minorEm
Ain't no use to stay and make a stand.

E minorEm             B7B7      EM
The morning light showed water in the valley
G+G         A augmentedA       B7B7
Daddy's grave just went below the line
E minorEm         B7B7             E minorEm
Things to save you just can't take them with you
             B7B7       E minorEm
The flood will swallow  all you leave behind.

G+G             D MajorD
Won't be back to start all over
G+G             B7B7
Lord what I felt before is gone
E minorEm       B7B7        E minorEm
Mary take the child, river's rising

Muddy water's taking back our home.

Instrumental:(follow pattern of first verse)

The road is gone there's just one way to leave here.
G+G        A augmentedA        B7B7
Turn my back on what I've left  below
E minorEm         B7B7      E minorEm
Shifting lands and broken farms around me
        B7B7       E minorEm
Muddy water's changin' all I know.

G+G             D MajorD
Hard to say just what I'm losing
G+G            B7B7
Ain't never felt so all alone
E minorEm      B7B7       E minorEm
Mary take the child, river's rising
G+G       B7B7       E minorEm
Muddy water's taking back my home.

    G+G      B7B7       E minorEm
Well muddy water's taking back my home.
