I [A] see [Gm] a wayward man, a [A]
lonely road between the tracks.
[G]
[D] Outside was a rusty barbed wire fence, [A] and beyond that sits an old tarp in the shed.
[D]
I think I hear a [G] noise of old [D] dog deer in the field that's split with dirty cotton litter.
[A] [D] And below that field there was a shaded little creek, and below you will find [A] a cool green leaves in the wind.
[Bb] [G] Mississippi, you're on my mind.
[D] Mississippi, you're on my mind.
[Gm] Oh, [A] Mississippi, you're on my mind,
[D] I swear.
[G] The honey is superfine, [D] but the hate and sweetness, it's like to make me [A] sick.
And the dogs, my God, it seems [Gm] like they were hungry [Bb] all the time.
And the slugs are sleeping, [A] where are the weeds, [G] I think.
Mississippi, you're on my mind.
[Gm] Mississippi, you're on my mind.
Oh, [A] Mississippi, you're on my [D] mind.
I think I feel [G] the ache of a peach, [Bb] when the southern sun, [A] it just blazes in the sky.
And in the dusty weeds, [G] our old fat grass [D] hoppers dance.
I've got to make it to that creek before [Bb] I fry.
