FORTY DAYS AND FORTY NIGHTS
As recorded by Muddy Waters

(1956 single release)

[Verse 1]
Am
Forty days and forty nights
Am
Since my baby left this town
Dm
Sun shinin' all day long
Am
But the rain keep comin' down
Em
She's my life, I need her so
Dm Am
Why she left, I just don't know

[Verse 2]
Am
Forty days and forty nights
Am
Since I set right down and cried
Dm
Keep rainin' all the time
Am
But the river is runnin' dry
Em
Lord, help me, it just ain't right
Dm Am
I love that girl with all of my might

[Verse 3]
Am
Forty days and forty nights
Am
Since my baby broke my heart
Dm
Searchin' for her everywhere
Am
Like a blind man in the dark
Em
Love can make a poor man rich
Dm Am
Or break his heart, I don't know which

[Harmonica Solo]
Am Dm Am Em Dm Am

[Verse 4]
Am
Forty days and forty nights
Am
Like a ship out on the sea
Dm
Prayin' for her each night
Am
That she would come back home to me
