John Hiatt - Crossing Muddy Waters Chords

[Opening]
[G][C][D][Em][C][D][G]
[G]Baby’s gone and i don’t know [C]why, she [D]headed out this [Em]morning
Like a rusty shot in a hollow [C]sky, she [D]left me without [G]warning

[verse 2]
[G]Sooner than the dogs could [C]bark, [D]faster than the [Em]sun rose
Down to the banks in an old [C]mule cart, she [D]took a flat boat [G]across the shallows
Left me in my [C]tears to drown, she [D]left a baby [Em]daughter
Now the river’s wide and deep and [C]brown, she’s [D]crossing muddy [G]waters

[verse 3]
[G]Tobacco standing in the [C]fields, be [D]rotten come [Em]November
And a bitter heart will not [C]reveal, a [D]spring that love [G]remembers

[verse 4]
[G]When that sweet brown girl of [C]mine, hair [D]black as a [Em]raven
We broke the bread and drank the [C]wine, from a [D]jug that she’d been [G]saving
Left me in my [C]tears to drown, she [D]left a baby [Em]daughter
Now the river’s wide and deep and [C]brown, she’s [D]crossing muddy [G]waters

[verse 5]
[G]Baby’s crying and the daylight’s [C]gone, that [D]big oak tree is [Em]groaning
In a rush of wind and a river [C]song, i can [D]hear my true love [G]moaning

[Closing]
[G]Crying for her baby [C]child, oh [D]crying for her [Em]husband
Crying for that rivers [C]wild, to take [D]her from her loved [G]ones
Left me in my [C]tears to drown, she [D]left a baby [Em]daughter
Now the river’s wide and deep and [C]brown, she’s [D]crossing muddy [G]waters
