Back Water Blues Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
When it rained five [G]days
And [C]the skies turned dark at [G]night
When [C]it rained five days
And the skies turned dark at [G]night
There was [D]trouble takin' place
In [C]the lowland at [G]night

[Verse 2]
[G]
I woke up this mornin'
Couldn't [C]even get out of my [G]door
I woke [C]up this mornin'
Couldn't even get out of my [G]door
Enough trouble [D]to make
a poor [C]woman
Wonder where she's gonna [G]go

[Verse 3]
[G]They rowed a little boat
[C]About five miles across the [G]farm
Said they [C]rowed a little boat
About five miles across [G]the farm
I packed [D]up all of my clothes,
trowed [C]them in
And they rowed me along
[G]

[Verse 4]
Where it thundered and lightnin'
And [C]the wind began [G]to blow
Said [C]it thundered and lightnin'
And the wind began to [G]blow
There was thou[D]sands of people
They [C]had no place to go
[G]

[Verse 5]
I went out and stood up
On a [C]high old lonesome [G]hill
I went [C]out and stood up
On a high old [G]lonesome [C]hill
[G]I looked dow[D]n on the house
[C]Where I used to live
[G]

[Verse 6]
[D]Back water blu[G]es that calls me
To [C]pack my things and [G]go
Back water [C]blues that calls me
To pack my things and [G]go
'Cause my [D]house fell down
And I can[C]'t live there no more
[G]

[Verse 7]
[D]
[G]Ooh, I can[C]'t live there no mor[G]e
[C]Ooh, I can't live there no [G]more
There [D]ain't no place for a poor [C]woman to go

[Outro 1]
[G]
