Mississippi River

G#m                   E           
Marry me by the Mississippi River,
 C#m
 baby
G#m
Take the train to New Orleans
E                      C#m
Tell me that I'm yours forever

G#m                   E           
Marry me by the Mississippi River,
 C#m
 baby
G#m
Take the train to New Orleans
E                      C#m
Tell me that I'm yours forever

G#m
Soldier, fightin' to the end
     E              C#m
I'll never be alone again

As mighty as a weapon

Never gonna let you go

Never gonna let you go-o-o

Never gonna let you go

G#m
Carry me, to first [?]
     E               C#m
Then kiss me in a cemetery
G#m
Ebony keys, and ivory
       E              C#m
By the white gate serenade me

G#m
Til the water starts rising
         E           C#m
And the levee overflows
G#m
Sinners and saints gonna leave this 
place
       E                      C#m
But together we'll fight the storm


[Chorus]

G#m
Never gonna let you go
E                   C#m
Never gonna let you go-o-o
G#m
Never gonna let you go
E                   C#m
Never gonna let you go-o-o


[Verse]

G#m
My days of darkness
    E             C#m
The easy days are gone
G#m
Washed away
        E             C#m
I need shelter in your arms

G#m
My dreams are drownin'
  E                C#m
Along with this old town
G#m
Paradise is falling
E                  C#m
How do we get back home?


[Chorus]

G#m
Never gonna let you go
E                   C#m
Never gonna let you go-o-o
G#m
Never gonna let you go
E                   C#m
Never gonna let you go-o-o
