Mississippi Lady

E                               A                      B            E
With just a sleeping bag and an old guitar, I left the band in New Orleans
E                        A       B                    E
I did some time with the bottle, some with the river queens
E                       A
I never thought I would meet a girl
          F#                  A   B
who could turn my head around
      E                     A       B               E
Till I met that Mississippi Lady in sleepy Gulfport town

E                     A        B               E
She was a Mississippi Lady, my lovin' Gulfport gal
E                     A           B               E
She taught me how to love and she really loved me well
E                       A                    F#7
She took me up to heaven then she brought me down
E                A     B              E
That Mississippi Lady, Sweet Cordelia Brown

E           A                  B              E
Hot July in Gulfport and I was working in the bars
E                   A                      B                   E
And she was working on the street with the rest of the evening stars
E                  A                   F#                  A    B
She said, "I never met a guy who could turn my head around"
           E             A             B              E
And that's really sayin' something for Sweet Cordelia Brown

E                     A        B               E
She was a Mississippi Lady, my lovin' Gulfport gal
E                     A           B               E
She taught me how to love and she really loved me well
E                       A                    F#7
She took me up to heaven then she brought me down
E                A     B              E
That Mississippi Lady, Sweet Cordelia Brown

        E                A    B            E
Now I'm back in New York City playin' in a band
       E         A                  B       E
But my mind's on Mississippi, is it hard to understand?
        E                      A              F#                     A    B
I never thought I would meet a girl who could bring me that far down
         E             A         B              E
Like the girl I met in Gulfport, Sweet Cordelia Brown

E                     A        B               E
She was a Mississippi Lady, my lovin' Gulfport gal
E                     A           B               E
She taught me how to love and she really loved me well
E                       A                    F#7
She took me up to heaven then she brought me down
E                A     B              E
That Mississippi Lady, Sweet Cordelia Brown
E                A     B              E
