Mississippi Burning chords and lyrics - GRAHAM NASH

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[Ebm]High on a hillside, out of town
My grave just cannot hold me
Lying still beneath the stars
I am cold and I am lonely

[Verse 2]
Kill me quick or kill me slow [Ebm]My
friends are not here with me
Lyin' over yonder in the soil

[Verse 3]
And both were murdered with me
[Ebm]
Long and scorching summer days
With Mississippi [Db]burning
[Ebm]Black and white and white and black
Their world will keep on turning

[Verse 4]
Mississippi [Ebm]burning
Clouds come tumbling down
Truth be told it's turning

[Verse 5]
And I'm turning in the ground
[Ebm]Sail on, sail on
Up this mighty river
Lay my soul to rest

[Verse 6]
God will deliver
[Ebm]
Mississippi burning
Clouds come tumbling down
Truth be told it's turning
And I'm turning in the ground

[Verse 7]
Many a good soul [Ebm]lost their life
And we were just three of them
Arm in arm we stood our ground
For something to believe in

[Verse 8]
Lynch the truth, it will not die [Ebm]It
just comes back to haunt us
Tell the truth and do not lie

[Verse 9]
Our memory must be ageless
[Ebm]Sail on, sail on
Up this mighty river
Lay my soul to rest
God will deliver

[Verse 10]
Sail on, [Ebm]sail on
Up this mighty river
Lay my soul to rest
God will deliver
