Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
E A B E
With just a sleeping bag and an old guitar, I left the band in New Orleans
E A B E
I did some time with the bottle, some with the river queens
E A
I never thought I would meet a girl
F# A B
who could turn my head around
E A B E
Till I met that Mississippi Lady in sleepy Gulfport town
[Chorus]
E A B E
She was a Mississippi Lady, my lovin' Gulfport gal
E A B E
She taught me how to love and she really loved me well
E A F#7
She took me up to heaven then she brought me down
E A B E
That Mississippi Lady, Sweet Cordelia Brown
[Verse 2]
E A B E
Hot July in Gulfport and I was working in the bars
E A B E
And she was working on the street with the rest of the evening stars
E A F# A B
She said, "I never met a guy who could turn my head around"
E A B E
And that's really sayin' something for Sweet Cordelia Brown
[Chorus]
E A B E
She was a Mississippi Lady, my lovin' Gulfport gal
E A B E
She taught me how to love and she really loved me well
E A F#7
She took me up to heaven then she brought me down
E A B E
That Mississippi Lady, Sweet Cordelia Brown
[Verse 3]
E A B E
Now I'm back in New York City playin' in a band
E A B E
But my mind's on Mississippi, is it hard to understand?
E A F# A B
I never thought I would meet a girl who could bring me that far down
E A B E
Like the girl I met in Gulfport, Sweet Cordelia Brown
[Chorus]
E A B E
She was a Mississippi Lady, my lovin' Gulfport gal
E A B E
She taught me how to love and she really loved me well
E A F#7
She took me up to heaven then she brought me down
E A B E
That Mississippi Lady, Sweet Cordelia Brown
E A B E
That Mississippi Lady, Sweet Cordelia Brown
