  • Rick plays his guitar like what is shown under.
    To get the correct rhytme count one bar like
    |one-and-two-and-three-and-four-and| where Rick strikes
  • his chord on each "and" mentioned in a bar. Also
    move your plectrum from down and up while hitting the strings.
    The '&'s marks the 4 flats in each bar.

  • H
    Down at Backwater junction
     
  • Rolling down the line
     
    In the dark early morning
  •  
    I heard the one-forty-nine
    E
  • I was walking down the highway
    D-E-D-
    Needed somewhere to go
  • H
    A lady laid beside me
     
  • And she invited me home
    A
    She led me cold, tired and hungry
  • E H
    Down the backwater road
     
  • H
    In a house on the corner
     
  • looking over the track
     
    I woke up with a fever
  •  
    And a pain in my back
    E
  • She was lying there beside me
    D-E-D-
    My fever started to grow
  • H
    Had a funny feeling
     
  • But the lady said no
    A
    The lover needs a doctor
  • E D (D-D-D-D)
    Down the Backwater Road

    Backwater doctor
  • You've got me breathing in time
    It's ten-thirty in the morning
    And I'm feeling alright
  • I went back to my lady
    But I wasn't to know
    Lady left this morning
  • And she's not coming home
     
    I was cold when she left me
  • Down the Backwater Road
  • PLAY TOO ..
