[Verse]
                           Em      Esus4
Late one night behind corn whiskey ■    
  E                               Em7  Em Em7
I fell asleep with a guitar in my hand ■  ■  
  E                           Em         
I dreamed about the ghosts of Mississippi
        G                         E   Em
And the blues came walkin' like a man ■ 
E7 E         Em     E                  Em  
■  Without a word I passed that guitar over
                              E   
He tuned it up like I'd never seen
                                   Em
A crooked smile was his expression ■ 
   G                   A             E   
He closed his eyes and then began to sing


[Chorus]
              Em7               Em
Ohoh Lord why have you forsaken me
                           G                   E 
Got me down in Mississippi where I don't wanna be
              Em7                 
Ohoh Lord why have you forsaken me
       E7      E                 G             E7
Got me down in Mississippi where I don't wanna be

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


[Chorus]
                       G          
Ohoh Lord why have you forsaken me
                           Em7                 Em
Got me down in Mississippi where I don't wanna be
Em7  Em   Em7          E7         
Ohoh Lord why have you forsaken me
Em7            E7          Em7                   
Got me down in Mississippi where I don't wanna be
