Chords with lyrics

Verse

Bb7Bb7  G minorGm    F#7F#7  F7F7
Dixie moonlight, Swanee shore
Bb7Bb7  G minorGm    F#7F#7  F7F7
Headed homebound just once more
Bb7Bb7     Eb7Eb7  F7F7  Bb majorBb
To my Mississippi delta home
Bb7Bb7    Eb7Eb7       F#7F#7  F7F7
Southland has that grand garden spot
Bb7Bb7    G minorGm  F#7F#7    FF
Although you believe or not


Verse

G minorGm      F#7F#7    F7F7
I hear those breeze a-whispering:
C7C7        F7F7
"Come on back to me"
Bb7Bb7     Eb7Eb7
Muddy water 'round my feet
Bb7Bb7     F#7F#7    F7F7
Muddy water in the street
Bb7Bb7       Eb7Eb7
Just God don't shelter
C7C7       F7F7
Down on the delta
Cm7Cm7     G7G7
Muddy water in my shoes
Cm7Cm7             G7G7
Reeling and rocking to them lowdown blues
Gm7Gm7     F#7F#7           F7F7
They live in ease and comfort down there I do declare
Bb7Bb7
Been away a year today
  Eb7Eb7
To wander and roam
C7C7
I don't care it's muddy there
  F7F7
But see it is my home


Outro

Bb7Bb7        Eb7Eb7
Got my toes turned Dixie way
Bb7Bb7        Eb7Eb7
'Round the delta let me lay
Bb7Bb7      Eb7Eb7   F7F7   Bb7Bb7
My heart cries out for muddy water
