Chords

[Verse 1]
Am                                        G
Down by the creek where the water goes slow

       F                                  C
The green-back heron and the moccasin know

Dm7                    Am
All things come to him who waits

        Bb           F       walk to Dm7 Am
Yet he is lost who hesitates

Am
Life and death just dancing around in the mud

Am                                            G
The light comes down through the limbs and the leaves

        F                          C
And dapples the water between the reeds

      Dm7                      Am
The air tastes green the bank gets soft

    Bb                          F               Dm7 Am
Right about then your shoes come off

Am
You got to get it between your toes the mud
[Chorus]
C           G
Mud pie mud in your eye

Am                          F
Mud on a snake bite don't you die

C                      G
Take a little rain take a little dirt

Am                              F
Make a little mud get it on your shirt
[Verse 2]
Am                      G
When I die please bury me

F                       C 
Down by this old muddy creek

Dm7                  Am
Let the crawfish have their way

      Bb                       F        Dm7 Am
It's mud to mud and that's okay

Am
We all just crawled out of the mud
[Chorus] (x2)
C           G
Mud pie mud in your eye

Am                          F
Mud on a snake bite don't you die

C                      G
Take a little rain take a little dirt

Am                              F
Make a little mud get it on your shirt
[Outro]
Am
We're all just slogging through the mud.
