Chords for Muddy Waters - Burying Ground Blues (1947)

_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
[C#] _ _ _ [F#m] I got a letter this morning, [F#]
this is the way my letter is. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] I got a letter this morning, [F#]
[F#m] this is the way my [F#] letter is. _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#] So you better come on by the water, _ [B] tell me your [F#] baby's right. _ _ _ _
_ [C#] _ _ [F#m] _ [F#] _ But _ [B] I believe I'll [F#] go myself, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ start to write a letter. _
[Bm] But I believe I'll [F#] go myself, _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#] you know a letter too slow.
[F#] _
[B] Telegram big and [F#] loud, _ _ _ _
_ [C#] _ _ [F#m] [F#] said I wasn't going to [F#m] my baby's [F#] burial ground.
Tell me what you mean, man. _
_ _ _ [B] I said I wasn't going to my baby's [F#] burial ground. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#] I was standing right there, [F#]
when the [G#m] grave digger [F#] let her down. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#m] Church [F#] bell was tolling, mom [F#m] and the hood was [F#] driving slow.
I just said, I just said, _
_ _ _ [B] church bell was tolling, _ mom and the hood was driving [F#] slow. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#] Got to be reverential day, [F#]
when I see [G#m] my [F#] baby's face anymore. _ _ _ _
