Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

I traded a '57 Chevy for my first guitar

Daddy said I was crazy, cuz that was a hell of a car

When I played Love Me Tender, on that Fender

And the music came pouring out of my hands and heart

He knew it was worth it, and so did I

Cuz sometimes some things don't have a price

So I learned to play all my heroes songs

And I finally got around to writing a few of my own

The songs got better, I put a band together

And we played our first gig at a little club in McComb

When I walked on stage and opened my mouth

I started to sing and you came pouring out

Ooooh, Ooooooh Mississippi,

You know how hard it was for me to leave

Ooooh, Ooooooh Mississippi,

I miss you, I hope you miss me

(2nd Chorus play C)

My Mississippi

So I packed my Delta dreams, and came to music city

I brought a whole lot of me, a little Presley and some Twitty

I came here to make it, but if I don't I can take it

Just as long as I have you with me

I know I'm gonna be strong enough

Cuz I've got your mud, in my blood

Ooooh, Ooooooh Mississippi,

You know how hard it was for me to leave

Ooooh, Ooooooh Mississippi,

I miss you, I hope you miss me

My Mississippi

You know I have four first loves,

That car, this guitar, and the girl that broke my heart, and

You, Ooooooooh Mississippi

You know how hard it was for me to leave

Ooooh, Ooooooh Mississippi,

I miss you, I hope you miss me
