Capo 1 (Recorded In F#)
Intro: C-F-Bb-C-Dm-Bb-C-Dm
A hundred m[F]iles out of Little Rock, windshield full of [Bb]rain
I-[C]40 eastbo[F]und drivin while I pr[C]ay,
[Dm] Shes asleep in the ba[F]ckseat, Holdin tight to her teddy be[Bb]ar,
Shes got her daddys smile and her momm[C]as hair
But o[Gm]ne word [F] knocked our l[Am]ives off track
Just [Gm]one word, [F] k[C]eeps us comin back
Chorus:
Across the Miss[Bb]issippi,[C] A mile or two from Be[F]ale Street
Not too far from Gr[Bb]aceland, [C] Where the king of rock and [Dm]roll sleeps
To a place for ch[Bb]ildren, Where G[C]od sends his me[F]rcy rainin do[Dm]wn
[C]In the heart of Me[Bb]mphis, Wh[C]ere angels hang ar[F]ound
Instrumental: Bb-C-Dm-Bb-C-Dm
[Dm]All the deals I[F]ve made with God, The conversations that weve ha[Bb]d
Tryin t[C]o accept thi[Dm]ngs I could n[Bb]ot underst[C]and
[Dm] I wanna walk her down the a[F]isle, While those church bells [Bb]ring,
See her get the chance. To live all [C]her dreams,
But [Gm]one word [F] knocked our li[A]ves off track
Just [Gm]one word [F] ke[C]eps us comin back
