Mississippi

C E7 On the day when I was born F Am Daddy sat down and cried. F C G I had the mark just as plain as day; D7 G7 Which could not be denied. C E7 They say that Cain caught Abel F Am Rollin' loaded dice; F C G Ace of Spades behind his ear F E7 And him not thinkin' twice. Am Halfstep, Mississippi uptown toodeloo F C G Hello, baby, I'm gone, goodbye F C G Half a cup of Rock and Rye. F C G Farewell to you old Southern skies Am E7 I'm on my way, on my way. Am Am/7M Am7 D9 F Dm B7 E7 Am Am/7M Am7 D9 F Am D7 G7 If all you got to live for Is what you left behind, Get yourself a powder charge And seal that silver mine. Lost my boots in transit, babe, A pile of smokin' leather. I nailed a retread to my feet And prayed for better weather. They say that when your ship comes in, The first man takes the sails; The second takes the afterdeck, The third the planks and rails What's the point of callin' shots; This cue ain't straight in line. Cue ball's made of styrofoam And no one's got the time. A D A D Across the Rio Grandeeo, Across the lazy river.
