As recorded by Muddy Waters (1956 single release) [Verse 1]
      Am
[tab]Am
Since my baby left this town

                    Dm
Sun shinin' all day long

                         Am
But the rain keep comin' down

         Em
She's my life, I need her so

    Dm                     Am
Why she left, I just don't know
[Verse 2]
Am
Forty days and forty nights

Am
Since I set right down and cried

     Dm
Keep rainin' all the time

                 Am
But the river is runnin' dry

      Em
Lord, help me, it just ain't right

  Dm                            Am
I love that girl with all of my might
[Verse 3]
Am
Forty days and forty nights

Am
Since my baby broke my heart

                  Dm
Searchin' for her everywhere

                        Am
Like a blind man in the dark

         Em
Love can make a poor man rich

   Dm                            Am
Or break his heart, I don't know which
[Harmonica Solo] Am Dm Am Em Dm Am [Verse 4]
Am
Forty days and forty nights

Am
Like a ship out on the sea

            Dm
Prayin' for her each night

                                 Am
That she would come back home to me

        Em
Life is love and love is right

N.C.                             Am
I hope she come back home tonight
