FF     Bb majorBb      FF
I'm going down to Mississippi
     Bb majorBb       C majorC
I'm going down a southern road
FF        Bb majorBb   FF
And if you never see me again
        Bb majorBb   C majorC
Remember that I had to go
 FF       Bb majorBb   C majorC
Remember that I had to go

FF     Bb majorBb      FF
It's a long road down to Mississipi
         Bb majorBb       C majorC
It's a short road back the other way
    FF             Bb majorBb     FF
If the cops pull you over to the side of the road
        Bb majorBb     C majorC
You won't have nothing to say
    FF     Bb majorBb     C majorC
No, you won't have nothing to say

FF      Bb majorBb      FF
There's a man waiting down in Mississippi
            Bb majorBb      C majorC
And he's waiting with a rifle in his hand
     FF              Bb majorBb      FF
And he's looking down the road for an out-of-state car
          Bb majorBb        C majorC
And he thinks he's fighting for his land
    FF      Bb majorBb        C majorC
Yes, he thinks he's fighting for his land

FF       Bb majorBb     FF
And he won't know the clothes I'm wearing
            Bb majorBb     C majorC
And he doesn't know the name that I own
    FF          Bb majorBb   FF
But his gun is large and his hate is hard
         Bb majorBb       C majorC
And he knows I'm coming down the road
    FF     Bb majorBb       C majorC
Yes, he knows I'm coming down the road

FF      Bb majorBb       FF
It's not for the glory that I'm leaving
         Bb majorBb        C majorC
It's not trouble that I'm looking for
      FF            Bb majorBb     FF
But there's lots of good work that's calling me down
           Bb majorBb  C majorC
And The waiting won't do no more
    FF       Bb majorBb  C majorC
No, The waiting won't do no more

FF      Bb majorBb      FF
Don't call me the brave one for going
        Bb majorBb     C majorC
No, don't pin a medal to my name
  FF           Bb majorBb    FF
For even if there was any choice to make
         Bb majorBb    C majorC
I'd be going down just the same
    FF     Bb majorBb    C majorC
I'd be going down just the same

FF        Bb majorBb  FF
For someone's got to go to mississipi
             Bb majorBb         C majorC
Just as sure as there's a right and there's a wrong
FF            Bb majorBb    FF
Even though you say the time will change
       Bb majorBb    C majorC
That time is just too long
   FF    Bb majorBb    C majorC
That time is just too long

FF     Bb majorBb   FF
So I'm going down to Mississipi
     Bb majorBb       C majorC
I'm going down a southern road
  FF      Bb majorBb   FF
And if you never see me again
        Bb majorBb   C majorC
Remember that I had to go
 FF       Bb majorBb   C majorC
Remember that I had to go
