Mississippi or Me

[Intro] G  D  C9

[First Part]

               G                D
I ain't gonna lie, when those headlights
         Em                 C9
Pulled into my drive tonight
        G
Was a sight for sore eyes
D                         C9
Last thing I thought I'd see
                  G
And is something wrong, what brought you
  D
 Home
       Em                  C9
Was it tough out on your own
           G                        D
Or did you drive all the way down here
             C9
Just to see me

[Chorus]

               G
Or was it the cotton fields stretchin'

Nearly countywide
      D
Them cool Delta mornings

Or the Jackson nights
         Em
Did your interstate dreams turn into a
              C9
Dead-end street
           G
Was it a midnight blanket

On a river bank
     D
Two names on a Tupelo water tank
       Em                          D
Was it somethin' 'bout a boy back home
                       C9
That your heart still needs

Continues after the ad
Were you missin' Mississippi or me

[Interlude] G  D  C9
             G  D  C9

[Second Part]

               G            D
When you hit town was my house
            Em                  C9
The first stop you thought about
   G                 D
Or you already been by
                         C9
To see your momma and them
                   G                D
And I want you to know in case you don't
       Em                 C9
I sure hated to see you go
       G
Just tell me what it was that
D                        C9
Brought you back home again

[Chorus]

            G
Was it the cotton fields stretchin'

Nearly countywide
      D
Them cool Delta mornings

Or the Jackson nights
         Em
Did your interstate dreams turn into a
              C9
Dead-end street
           G
Was it a midnight blanket

On a river bank
     D
Two names on a Tupelo water tank
       Em                          D
Was it somethin' 'bout a boy back home
                       C9
That your heart still needs

Were you missin' Mississippi or me

[Solo] G  D  C9

[Bridge]

        Bm
Are you back for good

Or just passing through
   C9                       C  C7M
Do you need me like I need you

[Chorus]

               G
Or was it the cotton fields stretchin'

Nearly countywide
      D
Them cool Delta mornings

Or the Jackson nights
         Em
Did your interstate dreams turn into a
              C9
Dead-end street
           G
Was it a midnight blanket

On a river bank
     D
Two names on a Tupelo water tank
       Em                          D
Was it somethin' 'bout a boy back home
                       C9
That your heart still needs

       Em
So before I take you back like that
D               C9
Baby, tell me one thing
     C9
Were you missin' Mississippi or me

[Ending] G  D  C9
