Chords with lyrics
Down by the lake of Mississippi
DmDm
A augmentedA boy was born poor and abandoned
E minorEm A minorAm
And as he walk you could hear him yearning
DmDm G+G
For a home and he prays
C majorC
And by the fields he sang for rising
DmDm
All for his faith and memorizing
E minorEm A minorAm
All of the songs his mother learned
DmDm G+G
From the lord himself
Chorus:
FF C majorC C majorC G+G
Heaven light a way for a fallen
FF C majorC
Let me ease the pain from my mother
DmDm G+G
But he feels the deception in his head
C majorC
Another day was born and rising
DmDm
And on the stool the boy was trying
E minorEm A minorAm
To earn a coin for his mother, and hoping
DmDm G+G
That freedom will lead her away
C majorC
Dear little friend
I've heard your story
DmDm
Please take my hand and I'll promise
E minorEm A minorAm
We'll find a way and we'll be fighting
DmDm G+G
For your mother, and her wings
Heaven light a way for a fallen
Let me ease the pain from my mother
But he feels the deception in his head
FF C majorC C majorC G+G
Heaven light a way for another
FF C majorC C majorC G+G
Let me ease the pain for a fallen
FF C majorC A minorAm G+G
We are on our way so much stronger
FF C majorC
Heaven light the way for another
DmDm G+G
And he feels no deception in his head
