verse 1 

Cm               G            Cm 
Mary grab the baby river's risin' 
Eb          Fm               G7 
Muddy water taking back the land 
Cm                   G                  Cm 
Old frame house she can't take no more beatin' 
Ab               G               Cm 
Ain't no use to stay and make a stand 
Cm                        G                  Cm 
Well the morning light showed water in the valley 
Eb                  Fm              G7 
Daddy's grave just went below the line 
Cm                   G                    Cm 
Things they say you just can't take'em with you 
Ab                      G              Cm 
The flood will swallow all you leave behind 


Eb                          Bb7 
Won't be back to start all over 
Eb                              G7 
Cause what I've held before is gone 
Cm              G                 Cm 
Mary take the child the river's risin' 
Ab           G              Cm 
Muddy water taking back my home

verse 2 

Cm                 G                    Cm 
The road is gone just one way to leave here 
Eb              Fm               G7 
Turn my back on what I've left below 
Cm               G                 Cm 
Shiftin' lands broken farms around me 
Ab            G              Cm 
Muddy water's changin' all I know 


Eb                         Bb7 
Hard to say just what I'm losin' 
Eb                        G7 
Ain't never felt so all alone 
Cm              G                Cm 
Mary take the child the river's risin' 
Ab           G              Cm 
Muddy water taking back my home
