The Gstory Gstarts on the Bmday you were born in the cityA. A A♯

GRaised on GElvis and HBmollywood.

The Gbad guys Gbad and the Bmgood guys good

And theA weight of the worlds is always AonA♯ the sheriff's shoulders,

D There was life in the F♯little house

BmAbove the hospitalG for the dying,

GSo I will keep singing,

F♯ I will keep fishing for some Awords in the water all aAroA♯und me

Bm Bm Bm Bm A Bm A Bm/A

(same chords as first verse)

The house of home shook and as the shelter broke you got a

good long look

At a country and class run by buzzards and crooks

Mississippi! Mississippi!

Through CIA and Klan

Through McCarth's damn blacklist, Nixon, and Nam

They tear-gassed the students but you had a plan

And the weight of the world is on the sheriff's

shoulders

(Same as first chorus)

There was life in the little house,

Above the hospital for the dying.

So I will keep singing,

I will keep fishing for some words in this water all around me

BmYou found your voice and youG voiced your sight.

F♯You held your ground to help usG see A

DThere's more to life thanF♯ lovers and chores

BmThere's more to life that anG office at the top floor,

F♯Somehow, someway, we all find pGeace, A

We AalA♯l find
