Chorus:
G                                   C
It's a long long way down the Mississippi
       G                 D            C D C
It's a long long way to New Orleans
    G                               C           A
And my daddy plays a mean guitar in some broken town
           D           G
Oh faraway down to New Orleans

Verse 1:
D                         G
Daddy never taught me any music
D                                 G
Denied me of my chance to play guitar
   D                                G                     C
So I went North to find a band that learned his style of music
D                                   G
Real old fashioned country rock and roll

Chorus:
G                                   C
It's a long long way down the Mississippi
       G                 D            C D C
It's a long long way to New Orleans
    G                               C           A
And my daddy plays a mean guitar in some broken town
           D           G
Oh faraway down to New Orleans

Verse 2:
D                                       G
I've learned to play my daddy's kind of music
D                        G        C
Developing my individual style
D
And soon he's gonna hear me play
    G                C
The songs he love so well
D                                   G
Real old fashioned country rock and roll

Chorus:
G                                   C
It's a long long way down the Mississippi
       G                 D            C D C
It's a long long way to New Orleans
    G                               C           A
And my daddy plays a mean guitar in some broken town
           D           G
Oh faraway down to New Orleans

Outro:
        D           G
Way way down To New Orleans
        D           G
Way way down To New Orleans
    G
Way down
