This gets pretty close to hitting the combo of walking baseline and playing the rhythm, and hitting the
high G that's played in the second section of Dm that's pretty integral to the songs melody.
It's not perfect though and the last section can 100% be improved.
Also, the last bar of the F section only has the C on 3rd fret played, but it sounds weird to only play that,
so I added in a D, which doesn't sound perfect. However, I think that it's an F and not an
Fmaj7, but I could be wrong.
[Verse 1]
DmFmaj7
Help me escape from this deserted sea
CDm
Lord, I think that the devil might be after me
DmFmaj7
I don't want to waste my integrity
CDm
I'm just a man livin' a one night stand, I tell you what I need
[Chorus]
FCG
Oh Black Creek, take me to that place
FCDm
Wash my sins away
FCG
Oh, Black Creek, take me to that place
FCDm
Wash my sins away
Fmaj7CDm
[Verse 2]
DmFmaj7
Just a little taste, that's all I need
CDm
Fruitful harvest in a wicked garden off a forbidden tree
DmFmaj7
A simple scheme from judging fate
CDm
Simple as it may be, it's more than I can take
[Chorus]
FCG
Oh Black Creek, take me to that place
FCDm
Wash my sins away
FCG
Oh, Black Creek, take me to that place
FCDm
Wash my sins away

[Verse 3]
Dm
Guitar man, play me a tune
Fmaj7CDm
I got one foot tappin' and nothing to lose I'm lost, I don't want to be found
Dm
The end for me could be comin' real soon
Fmaj7CDm
I'd like a glass of tea mixed with a sassafras root and a breath of higher ground
[Chorus]
FCG
Oh Black Creek, take me to that place
FCDm
Wash my sins away
FCG
Oh, Black Creek, take me to that place
FCDm
Wash my sins away
FCDm
Won't you wash my sins away
