Introdução: C Am G F
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
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
