Crossing Muddy Waters

Capo on 2nd fret
	  		

Intro: G C D Em C D G 



G                             C 
baby's gone and i don't know why 
     D               Em 
she headed out this morning 
                              C 
like a rusty shot in a hollow sky 
     D               G 
she left me without warning 

G                             C 
sooner than the dogs could bark 
D               Em 
faster than the sun rose 
                              C 
down to the banks in an old mule cart 
     D               G 
she took a flat boat 'cross the shallows 

               C 
left me in my tears to drown 
     D             Em 
she left a baby daughter 
                                   C 
now the river's wide and deep and brown 
       D              G 
she's crossing muddy waters 


G                             C 
tobacco standing in the fields 
  D               Em 
be rotten come november 
                              C 
and a bitter heart will not reveal 
     D               G 
a spring that love remembers 

when that sweet brown girl of mine 
hair black as a raven 
we broke the bread and drank the wine 
from a jug that she'd been saving 

               C 
left me in my tears to drown 
     D             Em 
she left a baby daughter 
                                   C 
now the river's wide and deep and brown 
       D              G 
she's crossing muddy waters 

baby's crying and the daylight's gone 
that big oak tree is groaning 
in a rush of wind and a river song 
i can hear my true love moaning 

crying for her baby child 
oh crying for her husband 
crying for that rivers wild 
to take her from her loved ones 

               C 
left me in my tears to drown 
     D             Em 
she left a baby daughter 
                                   C 
now the river's wide and deep and brown 
       D              G 
she's crossing muddy waters 
                                   C 
now the river's wide and deep and brown 
       D              G 
she's crossing muddy waters
