This gets pretty close to hitting the combo of walking baseline and playing the rhythm, and hitting the
high G that's played in the second section of Dm that's pretty integral to the songs melody.
It's not perfect though and the last section can 100% be improved.
Also, the last bar of the F section only has the C on 3rd fret played, but it sounds weird to only play that,
so I added in a D, which doesn't sound perfect. However, I think that it's an F and not an
Fmaj7, but I could be wrong.
[Verse 1]
Dm Fmaj7
Help me escape from this deserted sea
C Dm
Lord, I think that the devil might be after me
Dm Fmaj7
I don't want to waste my integrity
C Dm
I'm just a man livin' a one night stand, I tell you what I need
[Chorus]
F C G
Oh Black Creek, take me to that place
F C Dm
Wash my sins away
F C G
Oh, Black Creek, take me to that place
F C Dm
Wash my sins away
Fmaj7 C Dm
[Verse 2]
Dm Fmaj7
Just a little taste, that's all I need
C Dm
Fruitful harvest in a wicked garden off a forbidden tree
Dm Fmaj7
A simple scheme from judging fate
C Dm
Simple as it may be, it's more than I can take
[Chorus]
F C G
Oh Black Creek, take me to that place
F C Dm
Wash my sins away
F C G
Oh, Black Creek, take me to that place
F C Dm
Wash my sins away
Fmaj7 C Dm
Dm Fmaj7 C Dm
[Verse 3]
Dm
Guitar man, play me a tune
Fmaj7 C Dm
I got one foot tappin' and nothing to lose I'm lost, I don't want to be found
Dm
The end for me could be comin' real soon
Fmaj7 C Dm
I'd like a glass of tea mixed with a sassafras root and a breath of higher ground
[Chorus]
F C G
Oh Black Creek, take me to that place
F C Dm
Wash my sins away
F C G
Oh, Black Creek, take me to that place
F C Dm
Wash my sins away
F C Dm
Won't you wash my sins away
