_ _ [Em] _ _ _ [E] _ about the gold from it.
[Em] [E] Mississippi [G] and the [A] blues came walking [E] like a man.
_ [Em] _ _ _ [E] _
About a word I passed that guitar over, _ [Em] he tuned it up [E] like I'd never seen. _
A crooked smile was his expression, [G] _
he closed his [A] eyes and he [E] never sang. _ _
Oh, oh, oh, [Em] love, why have you forsaken me?
Got me down in [E] [A] Mississippi [G] where [E] I don't wanna _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ [E] be.

_ _ I woke up, I looked into the mirror, _ I saw no reflection for a while. _
_ But as my eyes came in focus, _ [G] I [A] recognized a crooked [E] smile. _ _
Oh, oh, oh, love, why have you forsaken [G]
me?
[E] Got me down [G] in Mississippi [E] where [G] I don't wanna be.
[E] [Em] Oh, oh, [A] oh, love, [E] why have you forsaken [G] me?
[E] Got me down in Mississippi where I [Am] don't [Em] wanna [E] be.

_ _ _ _ [E] _ [Em] Late one night behind corn whiskey, _ _ I fell [G] asleep with [Am] a guitar [E] in my [A] hand.
[E] I dreamed about the gold from [Em] Mississippi _ and the blues [A] came walking [E] like a [Em] man.
[E] _ Oh, oh, oh, love, why have you forsaken [Em] me?
[F] Got me down in Mississippi [A] where I don't wanna [E] be.
Oh, oh, oh, [Em] love, why have you [E] forsaken me?
Got me down in Mississippi [G] where [E] I don't wanna be.
[Em] Oh, oh, oh, love, why have you forsaken me?
Got me down in Mississippi where I don't [E] wanna be.
[G] Oh, oh, oh, [Em] love, why have you forsaken me?
Got me down in Mississippi where I don't wanna be.
