First time doing a tab - just thought I'd share my work on this. Figured it out on a ukulele with a capo on
the first fret. Chords are right above where they are found in the lyrics. Let me know of any errors &
enjoy!
 
[Verse 1]
 
       G#m
We are kneeling at the river's edge and tempting
        B                              C#
All the steps to follow closer right behind
      G#m
Is it only when you feel a part is empty
          B                              C#
That it’s gnawing at the corners of your mind
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
G#m
(Ohhh) I will ask you for mercy
B             C#
(Ohhh) I will come to you blind
G#m
(Ohhh) What you’ll see is the worst me
B              C#
(Ohhh) Not the last of my kind
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G#m   D#
Oh oh oh
B                        C#
In the muddy water we’re falling
G#m   D#
Oh oh oh
B                        C#
In the muddy water we’re crawling
G#m      D#
Holds me down
B       C#
Hold me now
G#m     Eb
Sold me out
B                         C#
In the muddy waters we’re falling
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
          G#m
It is not clear why we choose the fire pathway
         B                              C#
Where we end is not the way that we had planned
        G#m
All the spirits gather 'round like it's our last day
        B                                      C#
To get across you know we’ll have to raise the sand
 
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
G#m
(Ohhh) I will ask you for mercy
B             C#
(Ohhh) I will come to you blind
G#m
(Ohhh) What you’ll see is the worst me
B              C#
(Ohhh) Not the last of my kind
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G#m   D#
Oh oh oh
B                        C#
In the muddy water we’re falling
G#m   D#
Oh oh oh
B                        C#
In the muddy water we’re crawling
G#m      D#
Holds me down
B       C#
Hold me now
G#m     Eb
Sold me out
B                         C#
In the muddy waters we’re falling
 
 
[Bridge]
 
D#   A#
F#
 
D#         A#
Ohhh don’t fail me now
         F#
Put your arms around me and pull me out
D#     A#
Ohhh I know I’m found
          F#
With your arms around me, oh save me now
 
(like a verse)
 
G#m
B   C#
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G#m   D#
Oh oh oh
B                        C#
In the muddy water we’re falling
G#m   D#
Oh oh oh
B                        C#
In the muddy water we’re crawling
G#m      D#
Holds me down
B       C#
Hold me now
G#m     Eb
Sold me out
B                         C#
In the muddy waters we’re falling
