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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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