Mississippi Mud Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D]

[Verse 1]
Everybody in my senior [D]class
Got the hell out just as fast
[G]as they could go
[D]And pretty soon that Greyhound bus
It only left a few of us [G]to carry on
It [A]might've been the fam[Bm]ily farm
Or [G]Sherry Johnson's [D]loving arms
[A]Something wouldn't let [Bm]me leave
[G]Something made [A]me believe in

[Verse 2]
[D]A little house, a p[Em]iece of land
[G]Making things grow with my
[A]own two hands
[D]Coming home [Em]weary to the [G]bone
at the end [A]of the day
[D]Country stores, [Em]beat up Fords
[G]And songs with only two [A]or three chords
[Bm]Somehow [D]I thin[G]k I fell[D] in lo[Em]ve
with this [A]Mississippi mud
[D]

[Verse 3]
This friend went to Birmingham
And he's a State's Farm Insurance man
And makes a [G]hundred thou
[D]He calls me every now and then
Keeps saying he can cut me in
But it's [G]too late now
Cause [A]I've seen so much [Bm]Delta rain
[G]It must've seept in[D]to my veins
[A]Been here long [Bm]enough to see
[G]One thing for a man [A]like me is

[Verse 4]
[D]A little house, a p[Em]iece of land
[G]Making things grow with my
[A]own two hands
[D]Coming home [Em]weary to the [G]bone
at the end of the [A]day
[D]Country stores, [Em]beat up Fords
[G]And songs with only two [A]or three chords
[Bm]Somehow [D]I thin[G]k I fell[D] in lo[Em]ve with this
[A]Mississippi mud

[Interlude 1]
[D][Em][G][A][D][Em][G][A]

[Verse 5]
[C]Hang around here long enough
[G]It'll get into your blo[Em]od
[Bb]Comes up like a cotton seed
Be[A]fore to long all you need is

[Verse 6]
[D]A little house, a p[Em]iece of land
[G]Making things grow with my
[A]own two hands
[D]Coming home [Em]weary to [G]the bone
at the end of the day
[D]Country stores, [Em]beat up Fords
[G]And songs with only two [A]or three chords
[Bm]Somehow [A]I thin[G]k I fell[D] in lo[Em]ve with this
[A]Mississippi [D]mud[Em][G]
With this [A]Mississip[D]pi [Em]mud

[Verse 7]
[G]Oh, I thi[A]nk I fel[D]l in love with
[Em]this Mississippi [G]mud
With this [A]Mississip[D]pi mud

[Outro 1]
