Verse 1
EAE
Where the hell's the sun, just rain for days
AB7E
All this river risin and cryin washin us away
AB7EA
If we let go now, we'll let our love drown
EB7E
Baby this cold blue river, might never go down
Verse 2
So put up your bags and get away from the door
Put up that rusty pistol baby, i aint mad anymore
If you leave me now and head for higher ground
Baby this river of blue backwater is gonna take me down
Chorus
AB7
Baby I cant let you go
EA
I'll go under if you leave me here alone
EB7
These backwater blues will be gone

Baby just let these hard times roll
EA
We'll wade outta here when the water is low
EB7
These backwater blues will be gone

If we hold on

Verse 3
This river aint deep, its just a little cold
So put your arms around me we'll find us a steppin stone
Baby hold on tight, cos dry land's in sight
We'll be out of these backwater blues before long
If we hold on
Chorus
Baby these backwater blues will be gone
If we hold on...
