Backwater Blues

E - E7 E - E7 E - E7 E - E7


[Verse]
E                        A       
Where the hells the sun, just 
      E - E7
rain for days
E        A               B7     
All this river risin and cryins 
          E - E7
washin us away
E            A    B7            
If we let go now, we'll let our 
     E    A
love drown
           E                B7    
Baby, this cold blue river, might 
          E - E7
never go down


[Verse]
E                   A            
So put up your bags and get away 
         E - E7
from the door
E           A                  
Put up that rusty pistol baby, 
B7          E - E7
I ain't mad anymore
E               A   B7          
If you leave me now and head for
        E    A
 higher ground
           E                 B7
Baby, this river of blue backwater
                 E - E7
Is gonna take me down


[Chorus]

E     A               B7
Baby, I can't let you go
        E                          
I'll go under if you leave me here 
A
alone
      E                       B7
These backwater blues will be gone
           E - E7
If we hold on

E         A                    B7
Baby just let these hard times roll
           E                   A
We'll wade outta here when the water
 is low
      E                       B7
These backwater blues will be gone
           E - E7
If we hold on


[Verse]
E                      A         
This river ain't deep, its just a
        E - E7
 little cold
E           A                    
So put your arms around me we'll 
B7                E - E7
find us a steppin stone
E            A   B7             
Baby hold on tight, cause dry 
        E   A
land's in sight
                      E        
We'll be out of these backwater 
              B7
blues before long
           E - E7
If we hold on


[Chorus]
E     A               B7
Baby, I can't let you go
        E                          
I'll go under if you leave me here 
A
alone
      E                       B7
These backwater blues will be gone
           E - E7
If we hold on

E         A                    B7
Baby just let these hard times roll
           E                   A
We'll wade outta here when the water
 is low
      E                       B7
These backwater blues will be gone
           E A
If we hold on
           E                       
Baby these backwater blues will be 
B7
gone
           E - E7 E - E7 E - E7 E
If we hold on...
