Mississippi River

A  F#m  D  Bm  A  F#m  D  Bm

[Verse 1]
A          F#m
State Road 92
D                Bm
Eastbound out of town
A           F#m
Shell Rock, Iowa
    D                      Bm
Had no chance to keep you around
A               F#m
I hear it being said in town
      D                  Bm
How a great rain's gonna come
A        F#m
Now that you've gone away
D             Bm       E
Your smile was the sun

[Chorus]
D                   E
But the Mississippi River
            A      A/G#         
Could never be too swelled with 
F#m   E
rain
D          E
Even if it jumped the banks
   A         A/G#        F#m   E
To flood the whole great plain
D                E
I'd just build a boat
            A    A/G#      F#m
And make it big enough for two
         D           E
Then I'd sail myself

              A    F#m  D  Bm
Right home to you

[Verse 2]
A          F#m
State Road 92
          D
Also goes westbound
              Bm
Right back to town
A              F#m
You've got the rain at your back
D                   Bm     E
So you won't stick around

[Chorus]
D                   E
But the Mississippi River
            A      A/G#         
Could never be too swelled with 
F#m   E
rain
D          E
Even if it jumped the banks
   A         A/G#        F#m   E
To flood the whole great plain
D                E
I'd just build a boat
            A    A/G#      F#m
And make it big enough for two
         D           E
Then I'd sail myself
              A
Right home to you
F#m         D  Bm
Home to you

[Bridge]
C
And when the rain begins to fall
                      D
We can only watch the flood tides 
rise
C
And when the light begins to shine
                        D
We can finally find our way back 
home
      E
We'll shield our eyes

[Chorus]
D                   E
But the Mississippi River
            A      A/G#         
Could never be too swelled with 
F#m   E
rain
D          E
Even if it jumped the banks
   A         A/G#        F#m   E
To flood the whole great plain
D                  E
I'd just build one boat
            A    A/G#      F#m
And make it big enough for two
         D           E
Then I'd sail myself
              A
Right home to you
  F#m
Home to you
  D         Bm
Home to you
