[Intro]
Fm Fm
[Verse 1]
FmI can’t close my eyes in the dark,
FmI dream in black and bleak,
FmI get chills when a rooster crows in the night,
FmAnd I find myself at Murder Creek.

[Verse 2]
Fm G# Gm F#I wade through the water to that fallen tree,
Fm G# Gm F#That’s been down since the storm in July,
Fm G# GmI sit until the dark begins to fade,
GmAnd I’m staring at a bloodstained sky.
[Verse 3]
Fm D# C#That old feral cat sits on the bank,
Fm D# C#His big eyes glowing bright,
Fm D# C#He watches me like he did before,
A#*Like he watched from the woods that night.
[Verse 4]
Fm D# C#I get this feeling he’s not the only one,
Fm D# C#Hiding out there in the trees,
Fm D# C#And I run from the cold, muddy water,
CLike I’m running from a swarm of bees.
[Verse 5]
Fm D# C#There are stories that should be forgotten,
Fm D# C#There are sorrows too terrible to speak,
Fm D# C#But as hard as I try, I can never forget,
C* Fm Fm FmWhat happened at Murder Creek.
[Verse 6]
Fm FmI follow that old trail in the woods,
Fm FmThat leads to the edge of town,
Fm FmSadie’s in her backyard hanging clothes,
Fm FmBarefoot in her nightgown.
[Verse 7]
Fm G# Gm F#Now, Alabama’s full of rivalry,
Fm G# Gm F#And we’ve got grudges as old as the dirt,
Fm G# GmBut I never thought a man could sway us,
GmLike a clothesline swinging a shirt.
[Verse 8]
Fm D# C#I never would have gone out that night,
Fm D# C#If it hadn’t been the way Sadie laughed,
Fm D# C#Now she’s looking at me and she’s standing so still,
A#*Like she’s waiting to be photographed.
[Verse 9]
Fm D# C#We all were all just a little bit in love with him,
Fm D# C#And the dark daring things that he said,
Fm D# C#But he got to Sadie most of all,
CLike a demon inside her head.
[Verse 10]
Fm D# C#There are monsters we didn’t mean to make,
Fm D# C#Oh and havoc we never meant to wreak,
Fm D# C#*But we watched it all play out like a movie,
C* Fm G# Gm F#That night at Murder Creek.

[Verse 11]
Gm GmSometimes you're forced to Do things,
Gm GmSome people just wouldn't understand,
Gm Gm Gm GmI keep hearing those words, Sadie's words in my head,
Gm Gm GmAs I cut across Mr. Brown's land.
[Verse 12]
Gm A# A G#Loreen is out in the pasture,
Gm A# A G#Alone by a broken gate,
Gm A# A7sus4There's a green-broke filly on the other side,
A7sus4Just whinnying and shifting its weight.
[Verse 13]
Gm F D#I remember her in the water that night,
Gm F D#Like a dam against the flood,
Gm F D#Hair streamed down across her face,
C*And mud stained her dress like blood.
[Verse 14]
Gm F D#She never said much before,
Gm F D#Now she doesn't talk at all,
Gm F D#But one time I caught her crying,
D DInside Big Ben's empty stall.
[Verse 15]
Gm F D#There are secrets that come with secrets,
Gm F D#And mysteries that play hide and seek,
Gm F D#*And I can never understand or explain,
D GmWhat happened at Murder Creek.

[Verse 16]
Gm Gm GmTravis is staring out a dark window,
Gm Gm Gm GmWith a look of hate and shame,
Gm Gm Gm GmI wonder if that look is for someone,
Gm Gm Gm GmOr if he even knows who to blame.
[Verse 17]
Gm A# A G#We were such a sleepy little dreamy town,
Gm A# A G#Now we’re all nightmares and dread,
Gm A# AWe’ve got ghosts walking around like people,
Asus4And people walking around like the dead.
[Verse 18]
Gm F D#I nearly stumble into Becca Taylor,
Gm F D#She looks down and scurries out of sight,
Gm F D#She smelled of what she’d been baking,
C*Just like she did that night.
[Verse 19]
Gm F D#Danny is sitting on the front porch,
Gm F D#Probably waiting for their worthless son,
Gm F D#Who bathes in a river of whisky each night,
Dsus4 DTrying to wash away the things we’ve done.
[Verse 20]
Gm F D#But there are nightmares you can’t un-dream,
Gm F D#Words you can’t un-speak,
Gm F D#*Things you saw you can never unsee,
D* Gm A# A G#Like what happened at Murder Creek.

[Verse 21]
Am AmI run like I’m being chased,
Am AmBack to my old, deserted house,
Am AmWhen I notice the back door is open,
Am AmAnd my heart is beating out of my blouse.
[Verse 22]
Am C B7 A#There’s a footprint of Murder Creek mud,
Am C B7 A#Right there on the kitchen floor,
Am C B7And on Momma’s old table is something,
B7That hadn’t been there before.
[Verse 23]
Am G FIn this land of Iron and steel,
Am G FThere are three types of flesh and bone,
Am G FThose that lead, those that follow,
D*And those who want to be left alone.
[Verse 24]
Am G FI’ve lived my whole life free,
Am G FBut I’m losing my lucky streak,
Am G FAnd I’m thinking soon the whole world will know,
EWhat happened at Murder Creek.
[Verse 25]
Am G FThere are monsters in the dark now,
Am G FThere are futures we can never seek,
Am G F*And a night in the past that keeps rushing forward,
E*Like the waters of Murder Creek.
