Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

It keeps raining down the tear stained face of this lonely town

 And I drown

 And I keep reaching for one good reason why you said goodbye and turned

 around

 Oh your leaving me in this empty state

 And all I see are dark clouds as you drive away

Mississippi’s crying baby

Mississippi’s sad

I think we just figured out that you ain’t coming back

 The sky can see you leaving and it cant hold back the tears.

 Oh it's pouring down and my heart thinks it's dying

 Mississippi’s crying

 Mississippi’s crying

(Same as first verse/chorus)

I keep looking for headlights shinning in this driveway but they don’t shine

And I keep thinking this crazy storm will drive you home but not this time

Oh my only wish is to change the weather

Are you coming back or is it gonna rain forever?

Mississippi’s crying baby

Mississippi’s sad

I think we just figured out that you ain’t coming back

The sky can see you leaving and it cant hold back the tears.

Oh it's pouring down and my heart thinks it's dieing

Mississippi’s crying

Mississippi’s crying

Where you going baby, what’s in Tennessee?

You never said a word about Memphis, so who is she?

It keeps raining down the tear stained face of this lonely town

 And I drown

(same as other choruses)

Mississippi's crying baby

Mississippi's sad

I think we just figured out that you ain’t coming back

The sky can see you leaving and it cant hold back the tears.

Mississippi , Mississippi,

Mississippi’s crying

Mississippi’s crying

Oh Mississippi’s crying

Mississippi’s crying (oh oh oh)
