Intro 1
(G major) (A minor) (C major) (Dsus4) (A minor) (Asus4) (G major)
(C major)
(D major) It was back
Verse 1
(A minor) in 1942, (C major)
I was (G major) part of a good platoon (D major)
We were (A minor) on Louver
(Asus4) s in Louisi (C major) ana,
one (G major) night by the light of the moon (E minor)
(G major) Cap (A minor) tain said,
you got to ford (C major) the river,
that's (G major) where it all began (E minor)
We were (A minor) knee deep in the (D major) big muddy,
the (G major) damn fool kept yelling
(D major) to push on (A minor) (D major) (C major) (D major)
(A minor) Ser geant said, sir, (C major) are you sure,
this is the (G major) way back to the base (D major)
Ser (A major) geant, I (A minor) once crossed (C major) this river,
not a (G major) mile above this place
(E minor) It'll be a (A minor) little bit soggy,
but we'll keep (C major) on sloggin'
We'll (G major) soon be on dry (E minor) ground
We were (A major) waist (A minor) deep in (D major) the big money
And the dam (G major) n fool kept yellin' (D major) to push
(A minor) on (Dsus4) (Asus4) (G major) (A minor) (Dsus4)
(A minor) Captain served with (C major) all this gear
No (G major) man'll be able to swim (D major)
Ser (A major) geant, (A minor) be nervous, (C major) Nelly,
the cap (G major) tain said to him
(E minor) All we need (A minor) is a little determina (C major) tion,
we'll soon (G major) be on dry ground (E minor)
We were (A minor) waist deep in the (D major) big muddy
and the (G major) damn fool kept yellin' (D major)
Push (A major) on (Asus4) (A minor) (D major) (Asus4) (A minor) (Dsus4)
All (A minor) of a sudden the moon (C major) clouded over,
all (G major) we heard was a gurgling cry (D major)
(A minor) Seconds later the cap (C major) tain's helmet
was (G major) all that floated by (E minor)
Sergeant (A minor) said, turn (C major) around man,
I'm in (G major) charge here from now (D major) on
And we just (A minor) made (A major) it out
(D major) of the big money
with the (G major) captain dead and gone (D major)

(Dsus4) Louis stripped
Verse 2
(A minor) and dived
and found (C major) his body
Stuck (A minor) in the old quicksand
(D major) I (A minor) guess he didn't know
that the wa (C major) ter was deeper
Than the (D major) place where he'd once been
(E minor) For an (A minor) other stream of
joy (C major) in the muddy
About a (D major) mile from where we'd gone (E minor)
We were (A minor) lucky gal to the (D major) big muddy
When the (G major) damn fool kept yellin' (D major)
Push (A minor) on (Asus4) (A minor) (Dsus4) (D major) (A minor)
(A major) (Asus4) (D major) (A minor) (Dsus4)
(D major) Well, you (A minor) might not want
to draw (C major) conclusions,
I'll (G major) leave that to yourself (D major)
May (A minor) be you're still walking,
(C major) maybe you're still talking,
(G major) maybe you've still got your (E minor) health
But (A minor) every time I hear (C major) the news
that old (G major) feeling comes back (E minor) on
We're (A minor) waist deep in (D major) the big muddy
And (G major) the damn fool keeps (D major) yellin'
to push (A minor) on (D major) (A minor) (D major)
Waist (A minor) deep, (C major) neck deep,
we'll be drown (G major) in' before too (E minor) long
(A minor) Neck deep (A major) in the (D major) big money
and the (G major) damn fools keep (D major) yellin'
To push (A major) on (Asus4) (D major) (A minor)
(D major) Push on (A minor) (Asus4) (D major) (A minor) (D major) (A minor)
(D major) (A minor) (D major) (Asus4) (G major) (A minor) (D major)
