Verse 1
Em 
G 
D 
Well the Mississippi River
Em 
runs to the Gulf of Mexico
G 
Me and my friend Hank
D 
thought we'd build a raft and go
Modern day Tom Sawyer and
Em 
Huckleberry Finn
G 
Headed south to see
D 
what kind of trouble we'd get in
So we started in St. Paul,
Em 
where the water's mighty cold
G 
Thought we'd finally make the trip
D 
before we got too old
The car pulls us back,
Em 
back a hundred years
G 
I can see the ghost of Mark Twain
D 
as the night draws near
Bm 
Damn   you, old man,
A 
you lured me right
G 
into the belly of the beast
Bm 
A 
I can hear the church bells ringin'
G 
setting me free
Bm 
Current's getting stronger,
A 
I'm crossing over Jordan
C 
G 
D 
Muddy water is my name
C 
Em 
D 
Muddy water is my name
Well we talked about the demons
Em 
G 
Deep inside our head,
Bm 
as we drank another beer
D 
G 
And ate a fish that we had snared
D 
Friends since grade school,
Em 
G 
you know we've seen a lot
There goes St. Louis, boys,
D 
just above the water mark
Bm 
Damn   you, old man,
A 
you'll load me right
G 
into the belly of the beast
Bm 
A 
I can hear the church bells ringing,
G 
setting me free
Bm 
Current's getting stronger
A 
C 
I'm crossing over Jordan

We were coming into Memphis
Em 
just this side of dusk
G 
You know the raft capsized,
D 
A 
you know we just ran out of luck
D 
Into the muddy water,
Em 
we both went down
G 
Current pulls us under, babe,
D 
you know it never made a sound
Bm 
Damn   you, old man,
A 
you'll load me right
G 
into the belly of the beast
Bm 
A 
I can hear the church bells ringing
G 
Setting me free

The current's getting stronger
A 
I'm crossing over Jordan
