Mississippi

G                  C   G        
 Every step of the way   we walk
     C
 the line
G              C         G       
 Your days are numbered,  so are 
C
mine
G        C             G        
 Time is piling up, we struggle 
       C
and we scrape
G         C     D          G
All boxed in, nowhere to escape

[Verse 2]
G                  C      G     
 The city's just a jungle,  more
          C
 games to play
G                   C           
 I'm trapped in the heart of it 
G              C
trying to get away
      G             C
I was raised in the country
     G              C
Been working in the town
G         C
I been in trouble since I
D               G
Set my suitcase down


[Verse 3]
D                    E          
 I ain't got nothing for you, I 
D             G
had nothing before
D                G              
 Don't even have anything for 
C       D
myself anymore
D             E            D    
 Sky's full of fire and the rain
            G
 is pouring down
        D               G         
There's nothing you can sell me, 
       C        D
so I'll see you around


[Verse 4]
       G            C
All my powers of expression
    G              C
And thoughts so sublime
      G            C
Could never do you justice
G         C
Reason or rhyme


[Refrain]
        G        C          G     
There's only one thing that I did 
C
wrong
  G              C        D       
I stayed in Mississippi a day too 
G
long

[Verse 5]
G                   C     G     
 The devil's in the alley,  the 
                    C
mule kicking in the stall
G                 C       G     
 Say anything you want to,  I've
          C
 heard it all
      G                  C      G
I was thinking about the things  
          C
 that she said
      G              C        D  
I was dreaming I was sleeping   
      G
in you bed


[Verse 6]
G                    C      
 Walking through the leaves,  
G                  C
falling from the trees
G            C        G      C
 Feel like a stranger nobody sees
G        C         G            C
 So many things we never will undo
G              C           D    
 I know you're sorry, well I'm 
     G
sorry too


[Verse 7]
D                 E               
 Some people will offer you their 
D             G
hand and some won't
D             G           C      
 Last night I knew you, tonight I 
 D
don't
D                 E           D 
 I need something strong to 
        G
distract my mind
D                  G           C
 I'm gonna look at you till my 
       D
eyes go blind


[Verse 8]
G           C     G             
 Well I got here, following the 
         C
southern star
G               C             G 
 I crossed that river just to be
           C
 where you are


[Refrain]

There's only one thing that I did

[Verse 9]
        G                   
Well my ship's been split to 
 C          G            C
splinters, it's sinking fast
    G               C
I'm drowning in the poison
       G              C
Got no future, got no past
       G          C               
But my   heart is not weary, it's 
G               C
light and it's free
         G             C          
I've got nothing but affection for
              D             G
 those who've   sailed with me


[Verse 10]
G            C              G   
 Everybody's moving if they 
          C
ain't already there
G                   C    G     C
 Everybody's got to move   somewhere
     G             C    G    C
Well stick with me baby   anyhow
G                        
Things should start to get 
  C           D           G
interesting right about now


[Verse 11]
D               E    D           
 My clothes are wet, tight on my 
G
skin
D                    G           
 Not as tight as the corner that 
   C        D
I painted myself in
D            E          D       
 I know that fortune is waiting 
      G
to be kind
   D            G        C       
So give me your hand and say 
      D
you'll be mine


[Verse 12]
G              C          G     
 The emptiness is endless,  cold
    C
 as clay
        G           C
You can always come back
              G                 C
But you can't come back all the way


[Refrain]
              G        C          
Well, there's only one thing that 
G     C
I did wrong

I stayed in Mississippi a day too

I stayed in Mississippi a day too 
G
