Notes:- Thanks Tim - everyone should email him (and me) with your thoughts - I felt the  
changes were a little later than indicated, but right.  
 
Does anyone think there should be another chord somewhere in the first and second line  
of the verse? If there is its probably an add on to the existing chord... Any thoughts?  
 
 
 
E5 
I've been drinkin' muddy water and it tastes like turpintine 
E5 
I've been leavin' muddy footprints up and down the Morgan Line 
A5                            C5              D5            E5      
Crows are cryin' all around me in a sky where the sun refuse to shine 
E5 
I've been takin' scraps from backdoor I've been hidin' in the cane 
E5 
I've been fightin' over morsels and I've been slinkin' back again 
A5                            C5             D5               E5         
I've been buildin' up a reputation on the levy all across the plain 

Chorus: 
     G5           D5                              A5                     E5 
No I won't be your dog, Your low ridin' dog, Anymore. 
E5 
Now the mangro sun is sinkin' and the moon is bloody red 
E5 
Every gun is clean and loaded lyin' by a feather bed 
A5                       C5                D5          E5      
Far and wide go my description and the price is risin' on my head 
 
Chorus - Piano - Guitar Solo 
E5 
I've been drinkin' muddy water I've been keepin' way down low 
E5 
All I hear is my own breathin' all I see is a distant glow 
A5                   C5                           D5                         E5 
All I have is tearin' me up wearin' me down just won't let me go
