INTRO
D/A
F A D/A
Oh Mississippi. Oh Mississippi River
F A D/A
Won't you send me on my way?
F A D/A
I can see the sun and I can figure
F A D/A
I'll be dead later today
Bb G D/A
Cause I hurt my woman
Bb G D/A
I killed her there today
Bb G D/A
Oh Mississippi. Oh Mississippi River
F A D/A
Won't you send me on my way?
F A D/A
Oh help me, help me won't you, mister.
F A D/A
Can I have a couple dollars and a place to stay
F A D/A
I'm a good man and you'd figure
F A D/A
I'll stay for just one night and be on my way
Bb G D/A
But my lady she hurt me too
Bb G D/A
She said she'd loved me yeah, but she wasn't true
Bb G D/A
Oh I'm begging you, mister, oh mister?
F A D/A
Tell me what was I supposed to do?
Eb D/A
Eb D/A
Eb D/A
F A D/A (this last line sounds similar to the other Eb-D/A but
listen close and you can hear he's switching chords)
Bb G D/A
Cause I hurt my woman
Bb G D/A
I killed her there today
Bb G D/A
Oh Mississippi. Oh Mississippi River
F A D/A
I'll jump right in and be on my way?
And that should be it!
