Crossing Muddy Waters Chords
I decided to put the chords up because no-one else has yet. I personallly think this
song sounds better with capo on the second fret. and when you start the song hammer on the
E string twice.
Capo 2nd
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
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/john_hiatt/crossing_muddy_waters_crd.html ]
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
