[B] I've been taking off and landing, but this [E]
airport's closed.
I'm [A] a scared that this fog is [E] gonna get, well God [B] only knows.
[A] Just when you think that you've got a grip, [E] reality sneaks up, it gives [A] you the slip.
[E] [B] As if you ever [C#m] knew what [B] it was, [A] taking [G#m] you [F#m] down the line.
[B] Taming [E] through the cotton fields and bus shelters,
[A] off the south running helter skelter.
[E] Down to the [B] Mississippi [C#m] Delta, [B] an [A] old place they [B] call your home.
[E] Mixing up drinks with mixed feelings,
[A] all along the pain was healing.
[E] Down to an [B] Indian blanket [C#m] on a [B] pony, with [E] no [G#m] rider in a [F#m] fashionable,
looking for [A] his Buffalo [E] River home.

[E] I've [B] been circling the wagons out at [E] Times Square,
[A] trying to fill up this [E] hole in my soul, but [B] nothing fits there.
[A] Just when you think you can let it rip, [E] you're pounding the pavement in your [A] daddy's wing [E] tips.
[B] As if you had [C#m] some place [B] else to go, [A] or a [G#m] better way [F#m] to get [B] there.
[E] Tearing through the cotton fields and bus shelters,
[A] off the south running helter skelter.
[E] Down to the [B] Mississippi [C#m] Delta, an [A] old place they call [B] your home.
[E] Mixing up drinks with mixed feelings, [A] all along the pain was healing.

[B] Now there's only two things in life, but I forget [E] what they are.
Seems [A] you're either hanging on a [E] moonbeam's coattails, or wishing [B] on stars.
[A] Just when you think that you've been chipped,
[E] the bearded lady comes and does a [A] double backflip.
[E] You run [D#] off and [C#m] join the [B] circus, yeah, you [A] just let [G#m] that pony [F#] ride.
[B] Tearing [E] through the cotton fields and bus shelters,
[A] off the south running helter skelter.
[E] Down to the [B] Mississippi [C#m] Delta, [B] an [A] old place they call [B] your home.
