 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.

verses:
-------
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
