        C                                                    Am  
I traded a '57 Chevy for my first guitar
        G                                                                         F  
Daddy said I was crazy, cuz that was a hell of a car
        C                                                                         Am  
When I played Love Me Tender, on that Fender
        G                                                                                              F  
And the music came pouring out of my hands and heart
        Am                                                                 Em  
He knew it was worth it, and so did I
        F                                                              G  
Cuz sometimes some things don't have a price
     C                                                                      Am  
So I learned to play all my heroes songs
     G                                                                                                 F  
And I finally got around to writing a few of my own
     C                                                      Am  
The songs got better, I put a band together
     G                                                                    F  
And we played our first gig at a little club in McComb
     Am                                                                         Em  
When I walked on stage and opened my mouth
     F                                                              G  
I started to sing and you came pouring out
     C                 G/B              Am  
Ooooh, Ooooooh Mississippi,
        F                                                                    G  
You know how hard it was for me to leave
     C                 G/B              Am  
Ooooh, Ooooooh Mississippi,
     F                                              G  
I miss you, I hope you miss me
                          C  
My Mississippi
C    Am    G    F  
     C                                                                                    Am  
So I packed my Delta dreams, and came to music city
     G                                                                                                    F  
I brought a whole lot of me, a little Presley and some Twitty
     C                                                                                    Am  
I came here to make it, but if I don't I can take it
     G                                                                    F  
Just as long as I have you with me
     Am                                              Em  
I know I'm gonna be strong enough
     F                                                         G  
Cuz I've got your mud, in my blood
CHORUS
     Bb                                                    F  
You know I have four first loves,
  C                              G/B                            Am                                                            G  
That car, this guitar, and the girl that broke my heart, and
C                 G/B                    Am  
You, Ooooooooh Mississippi
     F                                                                         G  
You know how hard it was for me to leave
C                 G/B                    Am  
Ooooh, Ooooooh Mississippi,
     F                                              G  
I miss you, I hope you miss me
