Muddy Mouth Chords by Robert Wyatt

[Verse 1]
 
E7            E
  Deep in the undergrows
      G9             G7
Handy si-ghed with relief
            Fm7         Bb7  Bb
He'd come a-lone in the dark
           Db9         Db7     
He'd come agai---n a-t dawn,
         B   B7  B      B7       D9
if not befo---re the morning cockrise
D7               Cm7      F7  F
Meanwhile in the bu-shes above
           Ab            Ab       Gb
Behind the toepath which goes alo-ng
Gb           A7     A              Gm7
Beside the cana---l leading to the sea
         C7  C            
Which in turn leads on to 
F    Eb
a-ll the- major oceans
F  Eb             Db    B    Ebm    Ab   E7   E
Indian, Atlantic, Pa---------------------ci---fic
Bb   Bb7      Bb   Bb     Bb    Bb
I--- ca---n't re---me---m-ber
 
[Verse 2]
 
    E7           E
The names of the others off-
      G9          G7
Handy ci---ded to leave
            Fm7         Bb7  Bb
He'd come a-part at the seams
           Db9        Db7          B   B7
Endangered life and la-wn order be-fore
B        B7       D9
The more since he lies
D7         Cm7         F7  F
Even under oath, Handy lies
              Ab          Ab  
When he feels caught between  
              Gb
righthand wro-ng
Gb              A7     A         
I think he just mi-ght have been 
           Gm7
wrong this time
         C7  C              F   Eb
Which in turn left him with few alternatives
   F   Eb            Db    B
To relieving himself by--- ha---nd
Ebm Ab      E7    E      Bb          
A---lo---ne i---n the--- da---rk,
 Bb7  Bb 
 hi---di---ng 
Bb    Eb     Eb
i---n the--- bo---g
 
[Outro]
