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
I was walking down the highway
Needed somewhere to go
H
A lady laid beside me
And she invited me home
She led me cold, tired and hungry
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
She was lying there beside me
My fever started to grow
H
Had a funny feeling
But the lady said no
The lover needs a doctor
Down the Backwater Road

Whatcha lookin' for
Whatcha lookin' for
H|-------------------------------------------|
Lady do you know what you are lookin' for
Was I wrong to play along
H|-------------------------------------------|
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
