This is how I hear it...Capo at 4, in Am, relative to capo (C#m)

E|----------------------3------------------------------------------|

This is from memory, so it might be a tad bit off. I'll get back on the later parts....later. This riff is a little tricky at first, but a whole lot of fun to play. Sounds like there's a lot more going on than there is, but if it isn't catchy

when the water won't draw
when the water won't draw
and the river runs dry
and the river runs dry

i've been watchin that crow
i've been watchin that crow
wonder when he's gonna fly
wonder when he's gonna fly

when the water won't draw
when the water won't draw
little lover won't satisfy
little lover won't satisfy

little lover won't satisfy
little lover won't satisfy
when the water won't draw
and the river runs dry

i went to market but i didn't come back
put my penny on the railroad track
train came creepin like a diamondback
make me want to holler like a mountain jack
