Backwater by Meat Puppets - guitar chords, guitar tabs and lyrics

	E5	F#5
	And when I wake up in th	e morning

	C5	E5
	To feel the daybreak on my f	ace

	E5	F#5
	There's a blood that's flowin' through the	feeling

	C5	E5
With a k	nife to open up the sky's	vein

	E	C#m
	Some things...will never	change

	C
They jus	t stand there looking backwards

	D
Half unc	onscious from the pain

	E	C#m
	It may seem...re	arranged

	C	D
In the b	ackwater swirling there is	something that'll never change

And when I shoulda' been gone a long time

Laughs...and says I find ways

Just when we're sheltered under paper

The rockets come at us sideways

	E	C#m
	Some things...will never	change

	C
They jus	t stand there looking backwards

	D
Half unc	onscious from the pain

	E	C#m
	It may seem...re	arranged

	C	D
In the b	ackwater swirling there is	something that'll never change

	F-G	C	B
		Hey...I'	m blind

	D
	Good...fine

	C	B
	Roll the	time

	D
	On whose dime?

-Solo-(over E-C#m-C-D)

And when I wake up in the morning

To feel the daybreak on my face

There's a blood that's flowin' through the ceiling

With a knife to open up the sky's vein

Some things...will never change

They just stand there looking backwards

Half unconscious from the pain

It may seem...rearranged

In the backwater swirling there is something that'll never change

Some things...will never change

They just stand there looking backwards

Half unconscious from the pain

It may seem...rearranged

In the backwater swirling there is something that'll never change

-Solo outro-
