Hey there, Mississippi
G
Looks like the waters gettin’ rough
F C
I picked a hell of a day for fishin’
G
The way the wind keeps pickin’ up
F C G
I know I look crazy on this muddy bank
F C G
But it’s the only place I thought I wouldn’t think

CHORUS:
F C
Hey there, Mississippi
G
I know a girl a lot like you
F C
I bet she’s tearin’ right through the country
G F
And there’s nothin’ I can do to slow her down

C G
Yeah, love’s like a river,
F C
You can’t stop it when it’s runnin’ out
G
And headed south

F C G
Like my Mississippi, hey, uh-huh
F C G
My Mississippi, hey, uh-huh

VERSE:
F C
I know all about the ones that get away
G
If I know anything
F C
So it’s no surprise I didn’t catch
G
The only bite I had all day

F C G
Well, I wonder if my luck will ever change
F C
Is the chance of her ever comin’ back
G
Anything like the chance of rain?

CHORUS:
F C
Hey there, Mississippi
G
I know a girl a lot like you
F C
I bet she’s tearin’ right through the country
G F
And there’s nothin’ I can do to slow her down

C G
Yeah, love’s like a river,
F C
You can’t stop it when it’s runnin’ out
G
And headed south

F C G
Like my Mississippi, hey, uh-huh
F C G
My Mississippi, hey, uh-huh

CHORUS:
F C
Hey there, Mississippi
G
I know a girl a lot like you
F C
I bet she’s tearin’ right through the country
G F C
And there’s nothin’ I can do to slow her down, turn her around
G
Love’s like a river,
F C
You can’t stop it when it’s runnin’ out
G
And headed south

F C G
Like my Mississippi, hey, uh-huh
F C G
My Mississippi, hey, uh-huh

F C G
Said my Mississippi, hey, uh-huh
F C G
She’s my Mississippi, hey, uh-huh
