Chords with lyrics

Capo: 1st Fret

Intro: C majorC A minorAm G+G FF (2x)

  C majorC			A minorAm
I traded a '57 Chevy for my first guitar
  G+G				FF
Daddy said I was crazy, cuz that was a hell of a car
  C majorC				A minorAm
When I played Love Me Tender, on that Fender
  G+G					FF
And the music came pouring out of my hands and heart


  A minorAm			   E minorEm
He knew it was worth it, and so did I
  FF			  G+G
Cuz sometimes some things don't have a price

 C majorC			   A minorAm
So I learned to play all my heroes songs
 G+G					FF
And I finally got around to writing a few of my own
 C majorC			A minorAm
The songs got better, I put a band together
 G+G			   FF
And we played our first gig at a little club in McComb


 A minorAm				E minorEm
When I walked on stage and opened my mouth
 FF			  G+G
I started to sing and you came pouring out


 C majorC	 G/BG/B	  A minorAm
Ooooh, Ooooooh Mississippi,
  FF			   G+G
You know how hard it was for me to leave

Ooooh, Ooooooh Mississippi,
 FF		   G+G
I miss you, I hope you miss me
