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
