Down In Mississippi (and Up To No Good) by Sugarland
I recommend playing along with the recording to get the proper
timing.
Intro - Start strumming in (D)
(D) Friday, payday, lordy got to get away
Had it with the wife thing, living on a shoe string
(G) What's a poor girl got to do just to have some (D) fun
Well all these years without any help
Guess what honey clothes just don't wash themselves
(G) Neither do dishes, neither does the bathroom (D) floor
So now if (A) anyone asks, not that they would
I'll be (G) down in Mississippi and (A) up to no (D) good
(D) No more, what a bore, had enough, I'm out the door
Headed for a breakdown, had it with the small town
(G) Gonna call Lisa, gonna call Carla (D) Sue
Well now, we're gonna let it roll, gonna let it rip
Gonna get us a nice room down on the strip
(G) Not that we'll need it, there won't be any sleepin' to-(D)-ni-iii-ight
So now, if (A) anyone asks, not that they would
We'll be (G) down in Mississippi and (A) up to no (D) good
Chorus
We-ee-ll (G) hammer down, here we go
Runnin' for the riverboat
(D) All you're gonna see is asses and elbows
(G) Luck's about to change, for these three queens
(A) Tired of getting' jokers, deal us up ki-nn-nn-ngs
Instrumental Break - Follow pattern of verse that starts 'Snake Eyes'
[(D)] [(G)] [(D)] [(A)] [(G)][(A)][(D)]
Repeat Chorus
(D) Snake eyes, roll the dice, double down and hit me twice
Cashin' the big chips, gonna leave a big tip
(G) Hotter than a two dollar pistol baby I'm on (D) fi-ii-ire
So now if (A) anyone asks, and not that they would
I'll be (G) down in Mississippi and (A) up to no (D) good
Well now if (A) anyone asks, and not that they would
I'll be (G) down in Mississippi and (A) up to no (D) good
Yeahahhhhhhh (D) /
