Mud and Grime © Mike de Velta 2011

There was a time my life was steady
Like a boat on a calming sea
There was a time my life was steady
Like a boat on a calming sea
But that's been taken away my lord
Since my woman, she gone and left me

Now pain has made me her captive I'm down on my knees and I pray
Now pain has made me her captive I'm down on my knees and I pray
Oh God why d'you steal my woman?
Oh why did you steal her away?

So I packed my bags on a Friday turned my back against the setting sun
So I packed my bags on a Friday turned my back against the setting sun
now my life is shadows and darkness
in a world that's left me undone

but you lied and you cheated me baby
You know I can't forgive that crime but you lied and you cheated me baby
You know I can't forgive that crime
for a love that burned so brightly is now dull as mud and grime

Now the road is broke before me so many nights without you near
Now the road is broken before me so many nights without you near
I can't bear the thought of you woman
living without you here

but you lied and you cheated me baby
You know I can't forgive that crime
but you lied and you cheated me baby
You know I can't forgive that crime
for a love that burned so brightly
is now dull as mud and grime

Great sound. Came here via ChoctawSpirit channel.

Man that guitar and your voice sound so great.

The mud and grime take me right down into the swamp of love blues.

@BagwanVIII Hey mate, just standard tuning with a capo on 2nd fret ;) It is thumbing away on the bass which gives it that open tune sound. Just form an E7 shape and move it up to get started. Thx for the post !
