Hey one night behind Come
whiskey fell asleep with a guitar in my [Em] hand [E] I dreamed about the gold from [Em] Mississippi
[E] and [G] the blues came [A] walking [E] like a man [Em] [E]
not a word I passed that guitar over
[Em] he turned it [E] up like I'd never seen
a crooked smile with his expression [G] he closed his [A] eyes and he would [E] never sing
oh love [Em] why have you forsaken me got me [E] down in Mississippi [A]
[Em] where I don't [E] want to be
oh [Em] love why have you forsaken [E] me got me down in Mississippi where I don't want to be

I woke up I looked into the mirror I saw no reflection for a while but as my eyes came in
[G] focus I [A] recognized a crooked [E] smile oh love why have you [G] forsaken me
[E] got me down in [Em] Mississippi where I don't want to [E] be [Em] oh [E] love why have you forsaken [G] me
[E] got me down in Mississippi where I don't want [Em] to be
