           MISSISSIPPI MUD
            WILL DEMPSEY

INTRO:
Am  C  G  Am

VERSE:
     Am
Left his home in Louisiana
      C
Headed for Nashville, Tennessee
     G
Where he plays in the bars and prays to the stars
  Am
To find his melody

     Am
He spends all thoise nights under the neon lights
 C
Trying to chase a dream
     G
Where he tries to be heard singing someone else`s words
       Am
But there`s more to him than what it seems

     Am
See he`s always been pretty good with a pen
    C
And he wears his heart on his sleeve
      G
So put him under the lights with a pic and a mike
   Am
And he`ll make you believe


CHORUS:
    Am
`Cause he ain`t no cowboy
    C
No he don`t try to play the part
       G
He`s just a southern boy who likes making noise
    Am
And he sings straight from his heart

    Am
He was raised on the mud from the Mississippi floods
      C
Yeah, he`s usualy a simple man
      G
But you`ll know his name, he`ll make you feel his pain
    Am          C Am
With a six string in his hand


VERSE:
    Am
He was always told he was chasing fools gold
        C
`You`ll never make it anyway
      G
And even though he tried, the passion inside
   Am
Just wouldn`t go away

   Am
So I guess you can blame that rhythm in his veins
    C
It was too hard to ignore
      G
And he`s known all along right where he belongs
    Em
And he can`t fight it anymore


CHORUS:
    Am
`Cause he ain`t no cowboy
    C
No he don`t try to play the part
       G
He`s just a southern boy who likes making noise
    Am
And he sings straight from his heart

    Am
He was raised on the mud from the Mississippi floods
      C
Yeah, he`s usualy a simple man
      G
But you`ll know his name, he`ll make you feel his pain
    Am
With a six string in his hand


POST-CHORUS:
    Am
No he ain`t here to claim the money or the fame
      C
Yeah, he`s got a much bigger goal
       G
To take his love and his hurt and pour it into verse
     Em        Em Am  C  G  Em
That you feel deep in your soooooul        Noooooooo


CHORUS:
Am
He ain`t no cowboy
    C
But he won`t apologize
     G
For his jeans or his boots or his deep southern roots
    Am
Or the fire in his eyes

     Am
Got that Mississippi mud, running through his blood
     C
And he`s never been ashamed
    G
And he ain`t backing down
  G
Or leaving this town
   Em
Till they all know his name

Am  C  G  Am  G Am  C  G  Em   Am
