D                G
Beggars can't be choosers
       Em            A
But I choose to be a beggar
        D            G
So I'm always on the move
         Bm           Am   A
My heart is always on the mend
D                      G
Hailstorms, rain, and snow, I go
       Em             A
No hurricane can stop me, no
     D      G         B        A    G
It's up and over and back down home again
N.C.
We played Memphis last night
A
It was fine
G
Next stop on the tour
A
Is bound to hold my peace of mind


[Chorus]
G      A
Oh, It always puts
  D           D
A smile on my face and it's the
G                    A
First time I've been back here since
    D                D
The last time that I came
      G                   A
And I think you're really pretty
                 F#    Bm
And that's all I wanna say
        Em
Did you miss me?
        Am       G     A
Did you miss me, Missi-ssippi?
                       D
Would you kiss me if I stayed?

G D Em  A


[Verse 2]
     D                 G
That house was built before
    Em            A
The first world war
                  A
And I can see her now
D                 G
Standing on the porch
                   Em
With that baby boy who's
A
daddy's going to fight and
D             G
She hopes and prays
                Em
That he'll come home
               A         D
And they'll be happy and lord
G       Em                A
Lord, I pray that she was right
G                       A
Wind's blowin' thru the trees
G                          A
Oh, it feels like heaven's breathin' down on me


[Chorus]
G      A
Oh, It always puts
  D           D
A smile on my face and it's the
G                    A
First time I've been back here since
    D                D
The last time that I came
      G                   A
And I think you're really pretty
                 F#    Bm
And that's all I wanna say
        Em
Did you miss me?
        Am       G     A
Did you miss me, Missi-ssippi?
                       D
Would you kiss me if I stayed?
G       Em        A
Oh, no, yeah


[Bridge]
G                          D
I have to leave you in the morning
G              D
That old 55 to 12
G
But I'll be back again
D                         Em
Before the leaves turn or-ange
A
So, I'll say goodbye for now


[Chorus]
G      A
Oh, It always puts
  D           D
A smile on my face and it's the
G                    A
First time I've been back here since
    D                D
The last time that I came
      G                   A
And I think you're really pretty
                 F#    Bm
And that's all I wanna say
        Em
Did you miss me?


[Chorus]
G      A
Oh, It always puts
  D           D
A smile on my face and it's the
G                    A
First time I've been back here since
    D                D
The last time that I came
      G                   A
And I think you're really pretty
                 F#    Bm
And that's all I wanna say
        Em
Did you miss me?
        Am       G     A
Did you miss me, Missi-ssippi?
                       D
Would you kiss me if I stayed?
