Crossing Muddy Waters Ukulele 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: F,F,G,Am,F,G,F
F F
baby's gone and i don't know why
G Am
she headed out this morning
F
like a rusty shot in a hollow sky
G F
she left me without warning
F F
sooner than the dogs could bark
G Am
faster than the sun rose
F
down to the banks in an old mule cart
G F
she took a flat boat 'cross the shallows
F
left me in my tears to drown
G Am
she left a baby daughter
F
now the river's wide and deep and brown
G F
she's crossing muddy waters
F F
tobacco standing in the fields
G Am
be rotten come november
F
and a bitter heart will not reveal
G F
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
F
left me in my tears to drown
G Am
she left a baby daughter
F
now the river's wide and deep and brown
G F
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
F
left me in my tears to drown
G Am
she left a baby daughter
F
now the river's wide and deep and brown
G F
she's crossing muddy waters
F
now the river's wide and deep and brown
G F
she's crossing muddy waters
