I fell asleep with a guitar in my hand.
I dreamed about the coast of Mississippi.
And [G] the blues [A] came walking [Em] in like a man.
[E] So without a word I passed that guitar over.
And he turned it up like I had never seen.
[Em] And a crooked smile was his [E] expression.
[G] Then he closed [A] his eyes and [E] began to sing.
Oh, Lord, Lord, why have you forsaken me?
Got me down in Mississippi where I don't want to be.
Oh, Lord, Lord, why have you forsaken me?
Got me down in Mississippi [Em] where I don't want to be.
[E]
When I woke up I looked into the mirror.
And I saw no reflection for a while.
But as my eyes were waking focus.
[G] And I [D] recognized [A] that crooked smile.
[E] Oh, Lord, Lord, why have you forsaken me?
Got me down in Mississippi where I don't want to be.
[E]
Oh, Lord, Lord, why have you forsaken me?
Got me down in Mississippi where I don't want to be.
Then one night behind cold whiskey.
A sleeve with a guitar in my hand.
And I dreamed about the ghost of Mississippi.
[G]
And the blues came [A] walking in like [E] a man.
Oh, Lord, I said, oh, [Abm] Lord, Lord, [E] why have you forsaken me?
Got me down in Mississippi where I don't want to be.
Oh, Lord, Lord, why have you forsaken me?
Got me down in [G] Mississippi where I [Am] don't [E] want to
