Chord/Tab song: My Mississippi

Capo: 1st Fret

Intro: C Am G F (2x)

I t[C]raded a 57 Chevy for [Am]my first guitar
Dad[G]dy said I was crazy, cuz that [F]was a hell of a car
Whe[C]n I played Love Me Tender, on [Am]that Fender
And[G] the music came pouring out of my hand[F]s and heart

He [Am]knew it was worth it, and so[Em] did I
Cuz[F] sometimes some things don[G]t have a price

So[C] I learned to play all my her[Am]oes songs
An[G]d I finally got around to writing a few[F] of my own
Th[C]e songs got better, I p[Am]ut a band together
An[G]d we played our first gig at[F] a little club in McComb

Wh[Am]en I walked on stage and opened[Em] my mouth
I [F]started to sing and you ca[G]me pouring out

Chorus:
Oo[C]ooh, Oooo[G/B]ooh Missi[Am]ssippi,
You[F] know how hard it was for me[G] to leave
Oo[C]ooh, Ooo[G/B]oooh Missi[Am]ssippi,
I [F]miss you, I hope you[G] miss me
NC (2nd Chorus play C)
My Mississippi

[C] [Am] [G] [F]

So[C] I packed my Delta dreams, and cam[Am]e to music city
I [G]brought a whole lot of me, a little Pres[F]ley and some Twitty
I [C]came here to make it, but if I don[Am]t I can take it
Ju[G]st as long as I have you wit[F]h me

I [Am]know Im gonna be str[Em]ong enough
Cu[F]z Ive got your mud, in [G]my blood

CHORUS

Yo[Bb]u know I have four firs[F]t loves,
T[C]hat car, this[G/B] guitar, and th[Am]e girl that broke my heart, and[G]

[C]You, Oooo[G/B]ooooh Missi[Am]ssippi
Yo[F]u know how hard it was for me [G]to leave
[C]Ooooh, Oo[G/B]ooooh Missi[Am]ssippi,
I [F]miss you, I hope you[G] miss me
