[N] [E] I'm still in it, [C] Santa.
This job I had one [G] time as a town scout.
I had a hard day at the office and the boss wasn't [D] in town.
The day this higher-legged guitar picker [G] just happened to come around.
Well, when I walked into my office with a grip big green.
[D] Folks, that's where my story really [Gm] began.
He said someone's [G] name that my record didn't make.
[C] I was too close to see.
[D] My last song was called Sing Like a Bird.
I played it [G] at some guitar back in the day.
I never heard it.
I'm down on my luck.
Things are just a little slack.
[C] I got a hold of him.
I'm putting him in a shirt on my back.
Would you [D] buy me some sunboot?
Give me a place I can sleep.
[G] I'll teach you some signs and a little bit of nasty grease.
I [C] got a shower, boy.
Sit [D] back for a minute.
Call me in the tip of the Mississippi.
[G]
[Ab]
Well, I knew I was in for a long summer.
But when [Db] he pulled out of that pack of used cigarette butts.
[Eb] So that's when I told him we can't use you today.
[Ab] So I had to find a horse in the morning straight.
Then the horse got back.
Had my own kind of [Db] land.
Then I told him about the people of Mississippi Black.
And [Eb] pretty soon I had the school circulating [Ab] around about the Mississippi luck that we had in our town.
[Db] I said, what's your middle name?
The horse [Dbm] said.
He walked [Eb] around and called him Sheriff Cooper Mississippi [Ab] Black.
[A]
[D] [A]
Well, it happened one day.
My friend [D]
[E]
used to smash my car.
He had [Am] called it Jubaloe Mississippi Black.
[D] Well, I almost ran out of fuel.
I was [E] blue at last.
I hit a traffic [A] cop.
Why?
Well, my story's got a [Am] end in it's own suit.
[D] The horse man, he finally let me out of the street.
Well, [E] I got a new job now.
And I'm a learning real fast.
[A] I'm a driving the bus for the Jubaloe Mississippi Black.
[D] [E] That young he's got in his [Am] airplane.
[A]
[D] He's super, super nice.
That's the Jubaloe Mississippi.
You've never heard of it.
