Whoa, Mud Slide,      I'm depending on you

  I don't know but I've been told

          Bm9       E       Bm9   E
There's a time from time to time

Bm9          E  Bm9            E
   I can't eat     I can't sleep

Bm9      E          Bm9        E
  But I just might move my feet

               Bm9
'Cause there's nothing like

    E            Bm9     E
The sound of sweet soul music

   Bm9             E        Bm9
To change a young lady's mind

E              Bm9
  And there's nothing like a

E          Bm9      E
Walk on down by the bayou

Bm9             E       Bm9
   To leave the world behind

I've been letting the time go  by

D           A    A/B E

[Verse 2]
          Bm9        E
I'm gonna cash in my hand

    Bm9                   E
and pick up on a piece of land

    Bm9            E                 Bm9   E
And build myself a cabin back in the woods

                 Bm9          E
Lord, it's there I'm gonna stay

  Bm9               E
Until there comes a day

     Bm9                      E                Bm9   E
When this old world starts to changing for the good

          Bm9       E          Bm9       E
Now, the reason I'm smiling is over on a island

     Bm9             E               Bm9   E
On a hillside in the woods where I belong

              Bm9                     E
I wanna thank Jimmy, Jimmy, John, and Nick, and Laurie

    Bm9             E        Bm9
The No Jets Construction for setting

          E                   Bm9     E
Me down a homestead on the farm, whoa oooh
[Chorus]

     Night goes on and on, don't want to come at all

Bm9         E       Bm9        E         Bm9  E  Bm9  E  Bm9  E
Baby, baby, baby, I know, on a Haiti day

Bm9         E         Bm9                   E         Bm9  E  Bm9  E  Bm9  E
Stoney Lee Blue Borne picking on a fretless bass, babe

Bm9    E     Bm9            E              Bm9      E  Bm9  E  Bm9  E
   Oil Slick slipping and a slapping and a sliding on

Bm9  E       Bm9  E  Bm9  E
