{Verse 1} [D] Crash on the levee [D] Water’s gonna overflow [G] Creek’s gonna to rise gal [ D] No boat’s going to row [D (stop time)] Yeah you can walk it on down [A (stop time)] To Williams Point [D (stop time)] You can bust your leg [D7] You can rock this joint

{Chorus} [G D] Ohhhh mama, ain’t you gonna miss your best friend now? [A ]
You’re going to have to find yourself [Bm G D]
Another best friend, somehow

{Verse 2} [D] Now, don’t you try and move me, mama [D] You’re just bound to lose [G] Yeah high tides a risin’ baby [ D] You know you can’t refuse [D (stop time)] Well it’s king for king [A (stop time)] And it’s queen for queen [D (stop time)] This is gonna be the meanest flood [D7] You ever seen

{Chorus} [G D] Ohhhh mama, ain’t you gonna miss your best friend now? [A ]
You’re going to have to find yourself [Bm G D]
Another best friend, somehow

{Verse 3} [D] Well the high tide’s rising [D] Mama, don’t you let me down [G] Yeah just, pack up your suitcase [ D] Mama, don’t you make a sound [D (stop time)] Cause it’s sugar for sugar [A (stop time)] And it’s soul for soul [D (stop time)] If ya go down in the flood it’s gonna [D7] be your fault

{Chorus} [G D] Ohhhh mama, ain’t you gonna miss your best friend now? [A ]
You’re going to have to find yourself [Bm G D]
Another best friend, somehow
