Meat Puppets - Backwater Chords

Backwater - Meat Puppets


E                         F#
And when I wake up in the morning
C                          E
To feel the daybreak on my face
E                                          F#
There's a blood that's flowin' through the feeling
C                           E
With a knife to open up the sky's veins

E                    C#m
Some things...will never change
          C
They just stand there looking backwards
        D
Half unconscious from the pain
E               C#m
It may seem...rearranged
C                                  D
In the backwater swirling there is something that'll never change

E                               F#
And when I shoulda' been done a long time
C                    E
Laughs...and says I find ways
E                               F#
Just when we're sheltered under paper
C                      E
The rockets come at us sideways

E                        C#m
Some things...will never change
          C
They just stand there looking backwards
       D
Half unconscious from the pain
E               C#m
It may seem...rearranged
C                                  D
In the backwater swirling there is something that'll never change

F   G   
A         E
Hey...I'm blind
C      D
Good...fine
A       E
Roll the time
C        D
On whose dime?

Solo  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 veins

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 E-C#m-C-D x4 (4th time slow down on C & D...resolve on E)
