_ _ [F#m] I [B] left the band [E] in New Orleans.
_ _ _ Did some time [A] with the bottle.
_ _ [B] Some [E] with the river _ queens.
_ _ Never thought I [A] would meet a girl _ [F#m] who could turn my [A] head around.
_ [B] Till I [E] met that [A] Mississippi lady _ [B] in the sleepy [E] Gulfport town.
She was a Mississippi [A] _ lady, _ [B] a [E] lovely _ Gulfport gal.
_ _ She taught me how [A] to love and [B] she really [E] loved me well.
_ _ She took me up [Em] to heaven _ [F#m] _
and she brought me down.
_ [Bm] That [E]
Mississippi _ [A] lady, Mississippi [B] lady, sweet, cold, [E] dear, you cry. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Well, I'm from [A] the Gulfport [B] and I was working [E] in the _ bars.
_ She was [A] working on the street [Bm] with the rest of the [E] evening stars.
_ _ She said I [A] never met a guy [F#m] who could turn my head [B] around.
And [E] that really said [A]
something, _ _ [B] sweet, cold, [E] dear, you brown.
She was a Mississippi _ [A]
lady, _ [E] a lovely _ Gulfport gal.
_ She taught me how [A] to love and [Bm] she [B] really [E] loved me well.
_ _ She took me up to heaven _ _ [F#m] _ and she brought me down.
_ [E] That _ Mississippi [A] _
lady, Mississippi [B] lady, sweet, cold, [E] dear, you brown. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Now I'm back in New York [F#m] City, _ _ playing [E] in a band.
_ Putting my eyes on [A] Mississippi, _ [B] is it [E] hard to _ understand? _ _ _
_ Never thought [F#m] I would meet a girl who could bring me that far down.
_ [B] [E] Like the girl I [A] met in _ Gulfport, [Bm] _
sweet, [E] dear, you brown.
She was a Mississippi [A] _ lady, _ [E]
a lovely Gulfport gal. _ _
She taught me how to [F#m] love and [E] she really loved me well. _ _ _
She took me up to heaven _ _ [A] _
and she [F#m] brought me down.
