LEGEND: * means a chord of 1 beat (you you play a ring, 1 strum down)
TIP: the C of the RIFF is often a C7, you can "play" with it.
[Intro]
| G | Em | C | G |
| G | D | G | G |
[Verse 1]
G Em C G
Well, she's born outside of Memphis, just north of Tupelo,
G Em D D
oh Lord, she's a Mississippi Queen.
G Em C G
And just like that big river, oh Lord, she'll pull you under,
G D G G
she fights fire with gasoline.
[Interlude]
| G | Em | C | G |
| G | D | G | G |
[Verse 2]
G Em C G
The first time that I saw her down at the white water,
G Em D D
dance across those ancient hardwood floors.
G Em C G
And you could tell she had a history with the cigarettes and whiskey
G D G G
and the boys that had a way with words.
[Chorus]
C* D* G G C* D* G G
But I want to make that glorious mistake,
G Em C G
she's got the kisses of a thousand angels
G D G G
and the bite of a rattlesnake.
[Interlude]
| G | Em | C | G |
| G | D | G | G |
[Verse 3]
G Em C G
Much like my first occurrence with straight Kentucky bourbon,
G Em D D
oh, Lord, she took my breath away.
G Em C G
And when she called me "Darlin'" I started caterwaulin',
G D G G
oh, I had nothin' else to say.
