Status Quo - Backwater: chords

B
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,
needed somewhere to go
 B
Lady laid beside me and she invited me home
            A                    E                    B
She led me cold, tired and hungry down the backwater road

In a house on the corner looking over the track
I woke up with a fever and a pain in my back
She was lying there beside me, my fever started to grow
Had a funny feeling but the lady said no
My lover needs a doctor down the Backwater Road

B
Whatcha lookin' for, whatcha lookin' for
 D            E               B
Lady do you know what you're lookin' for
 B
Was I wrong to play along?
 D          E             B
Lady was I right or lady was I wrong?

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
