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.
