Along The Mississippi chords by Pride Charley

Chords with lyrics

I noticed there was no Charley Pride at all.
I learned this from the record (with some
help from my wife, just couldn't get that E MajorE).
This is also my first song learned from a
recording. Unfortunately this album, along
with most of Charley's catalog is unavailable
on CD. This is a fun tune to strum along
with, I especially like the switch to Am.
Enjoy!
