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.
