Notes:- Thanks Tim - everyone should email him (and me) with your thoughts - I felt the
changes were a little later than indicated, but right.
Does anyone think there should be another chord somewhere in the first and second line
of the verse? If there is its probably an add on to the existing chord... Any thoughts?
Em
I've been drinkin' muddy water and it tastes like turpintine
Em
I've been leavin' muddy footprints up and down the Morgan Line
Am C D Em
Crows are cryin' all around me in a sky where the sun refuse to shine
Em
I've been takin' scraps from backdoor I've been hidin' in the cane
Em
I've been fightin' over morsels and I've been slinkin' back again
Am C D Em
I've been buildin' up a reputation on the levy all across the plain
Chorus:
G D Am Em
No I won't be your dog, Your low ridin' dog, Anymore.
Em
Now the mangro sun is sinkin' and the moon is bloody red
Em
Every gun is clean and loaded lyin' by a feather bed
Am C D Em
Far and wide go my description and the price is risin' on my head
Chorus - Piano - Guitar Solo
Em
I've been drinkin' muddy water I've been keepin' way down low
Em
All I hear is my own breathin' all I see is a distant glow
Am C D Em
All I have is tearin' me up wearin' me down just won't let me go
