Slow Me Down

   D
1.Put me on a boat on the mighty 
Mississippi
                      G      D
  Let old man river slow me down
  Been too long gone from my sweet 
dixie
                        A       D
  Chasin' a dream from town to town

2.So I called my baby in Mobile, 
Alabama
  Said meet me in Memphis on the 
Jackson Queen
  Tell you right now we ain't in no 
big hurry

  To make our way down to New 
Orleans

    G   C  D
C.Slow me down
  Somethin' 'bout the rhythm and the
 rollin' of the river
    G   C  D
  Slow me down
  Rocks me like a baby in a rockin' 
chair
    G   C  D
  Slow me down
  Sometin' 'bout the smell of a 
sweet magnolia
    G   C  D
  Slow me down
  Makes me forget all my trounles 
and cares
  Just a few more miles and I'll be 
there

3.Well I need a little time for some
 relaxation
  A little bit of lovin' from my 
sugar pie
  Only Heaven knows how my heart's 
been achin'
  For a big yellow moon in a 
southern sky

(Repeat chorus and 3rd verse)
