Mississippi Lady

E                               A
With just a sleeping bag and an 
                      B            
old guitar, I left the band in New 
E
Orleans
E                        A       
I did some time with the bottle, 
B                    E
some with the river queens
E                       A
I never thought I would meet a girl
          F#                  A   B
who could turn my head around
      E                     A     
Till I met that Mississippi Lady 
  B               E
in sleepy Gulfport town

[Chorus]

E                     A     
She was a Mississippi Lady, my 
   B               E
lovin' Gulfport gal
E                     A           
She taught me how to love and she 
B               E
really loved me well
E                       A        
She took me up to heaven then she
            F#7
 brought me down
E                A     B 
That Mississippi Lady, Sweet 
             E

E           A               
Hot July in Gulfport and I was 
   B              E
working in the bars
E                   A            
And she was working on the street
          B                   E
 with the rest of the evening stars
E                  A             
She said, "I never met a guy who 
      F#                  A    B
could turn my head around"
           E             A        
And that's really sayin' something
     B              E
 for Sweet Cordelia Brown

[Chorus]

E                     A     
She was a Mississippi Lady, my 
   B               E
lovin' Gulfport gal
E                     A           
She taught me how to love and she 
B               E
really loved me well
E                       A        
She took me up to heaven then she
            F#7
 brought me down
E                A     B 
That Mississippi Lady, Sweet 
             E

[Verse 3]

        E                A  
Now I'm back in New York City 
  B            E
playin' in a band
       E         A                
But my mind's on Mississippi, is 
  B       E
it hard to understand?
        E                      A  
I never thought I would meet a 
            F#                  
girl who could bring me that far 
   A    B
down
         E             A         
Like the girl I met in Gulfport, 
B              E
Sweet Cordelia Brown

E                     A           
She taught me how to love and she 
B               E
really loved me well
E                       A        
She took me up to heaven then she
            F#7
 brought me down
E                A     B
