Ab7Verse
He said: Son my name is Boregard Rippy Db7 I come to you from Tupelo Mississippi Eb7 I write songs that'll sing like a bird Ab7 I play licks on my guitar Like you ain't never heard But I'm down on my luck And things are just a little slack Db7 I gotta quarter in my pocket And a shirt on my back Eb7 You buy me some supper And give me a place I can sleep Ab7 I'll sing you some songs That'll rock your head to sleep Db7 I got talent boy Eb7 Said back home they call me Ab7 A7 The Tupelo Mississippi Flash
Verse 2
A7 Well, I knew I was in a room With some kind of a nut D7 When he pulled out that pack Of used cigarette butts E7 So that's when I told him "We can't use you today" A7 So I handed the boy a dollar And sent him on his way Well, the boss got back And we both had a laugh D7 When I told him 'Bout the Tupelo Mississippi Flash E7 And pretty soon I had the story circling around A7 About this Mississippi nut That we had in our town D7 I said: Watch him everybody The boy's squirrelly E7 He walks around calling himself A7 Bb7 The Tupelo Mississippi Flash
Verse 3
Bb7 Well, it happened one day While I was driving to my home Eb7 I just happened to have my car radio on F7 When I heard the jockey raving about A brand new smash Bb7 By a kid called The Tupelo Mississippi Flash Eb7 I almost wrecked my automobile F7 I went through a red light Bb7 I hit the traffic cop
Verse 4
Well, my story's got an ending
And it's short and sweet
Eb7
You know the boss man he fired me
And left me out in the street
F7
But I got a new job now
And I'm as learnin' real fast
Bb7
I'm drivin' the bus
For the Tupelo Mississippi Flash
Eb7
And his Cadillac
I'm driving that for him too
F7
And that yacht he's got
Bb7
And that big fat a plane?
Eb7
Well, chauffeur, show good I always say
F7
Tupelo Mississippi, who ever heard of it
Bb7
