[Chorus 1]

 E
Late one night behind corn whiskey
 E
I fell asleep with a guitar in my hand
 E
I dreamed about the ghosts of Mississippi
        G          A              E
And the blues came walking like a man


[Verse 1]

 E
Without a word I passed that guitar over
 E
He tuned it up like I'd never seen
 E
A crooked smile was his expression
        G          A                 E
Then he closed his eyes and began to sing


[Chorus 2]

 E7
Oh Lord why have you forsaken me
 E7
Got me down in Mississippi
 E7
Where I don't want to be
 E7
Oh Lord why have you forsaken me
 E7
Got me down in Mississippi
 E7
Where I don't want to be

[Verse 2]

 E
When I woke up I looked into the mirror
 E
I saw no reflection for a while
 E
But as my eyes came into focus
  G     A                 E
I recognized that crooked smile


[Chorus 2]

 E7
Oh Lord why have you forsaken me
 E7
Got me down in Mississippi
 E7
Where I don't want to be
 E7
Oh Lord why have you forsaken me
 E7
Got me down in Mississippi
 E7
Where I don't want to be


[Chorus 1]

 E
Late one night behind corn whiskey
 E
I fell asleep with a guitar in my hand
 E
I dreamed about the ghosts of Mississippi
        G          A              E
And the blues came walking like a man


[Chorus 2]

 E7
Oh Lord why have you forsaken me
 E7
Got me down in Mississippi
 E7
Where I don't want to be
 E7
Oh Lord why have you forsaken me
 E7
Got me down in Mississippi
 E7
Where I don't want to be
