Capo 2

[Verse 1]
D G A G
The Mississippi moves a whole lot slower than you think
D G A G
I've been to Memphis and rode it clean down to New Orleans
D Bm G D
I'd bet a Ben Franklin I've seen the whole world in between
D G A D
Ain't seen you in God knows when

[Verse 2]
D G A G
Too much of that bootleg liquor, not near enough champagne
D G A G
Too much of that dust bowl love and not near enough Delta rain
D Bm G D
I shed too many tears last I smelled 'em burnin' the cane
D G A D
But I ain't held you in God knows when

[Chorus]
G F#m
We had a love that we held true
Em A D
I don't know how it slipped away
G F#m
You always had good sense 'bout when to leave
F A
I wish you knew something 'bout when to stay

[Verse 3]
D G A D
Power lines went down in hell 'cause they had an ice storm again
D G A D
The devil he cursed the TVA and now he's headed down south of I-10
D Bm G D
You ain't been back so you must have cut some kind of deal with him
D G A D
'Cause hells froze over since God knows when

[Chorus]
G F#m
We had a love that we held true
Em A D
I don't know how it slipped away
G F#m
You always had good sense 'bout when to leave
F A
I wish you knew something 'bout when to stay

[Verse 4]
D G A D
The Mississippi moves a whole lot sadder than you think
D G A D
You cry tears in Memphis, they hit bottom south of New Orleans
D Bm G D
You won't feel redemption 'til they mingle in the warm Gulf Stream
