[Verse 1]
D
It keeps raining down the tear stained face
        G                 D        D   G
Of this lonely town and I drowned
    D
And I keep reaching for one good reason
        G                        D      D   G
Why you said goodbye and turned around

[Pre-chorus]
D          Em                 G            G
Oh, you're leaving me in this empty state
    Em                               A
And all I see are dark clouds as you drive away

[Chorus]
D                     A     G
Mississippi's crying, baby, Mississippi's sad
D                           G
I think we just figured out you ain't coming back
    D                              G
The sky can see you leaving and it can't hold back the tears
         Em                                    D A
Oh, it's pouring down and my heart thinks it's dying
              D       D   G
Mississippi's crying,
              D       D   G
Mississippi's crying

[Verse 2]
    D
The night keeps looking for a headlight shining
        G                        D     D   G
In this driveway but they don't shine
    D
And I keep thinking this crazy storm
     G                           D     D   G
Will drive you home but not this time

[Pre-chorus]
D      Em              G
Oh, my only wish is to change the weather
        Em                         A
Are you coming back or is it gonna rain forever?

[Chorus]
D                     A     G
Mississippi's crying, baby, Mississippi's sad
D                           G
I think we just figured out you ain't coming back
    D                              G
The sky can see you leaving and it can't hold back the tears
         Em                                    D A
Oh, it's pouring down and my heart thinks it's dying
              D       D   G
Mississippi's crying,
              D       D   G
Mississippi's crying

[Bridge]
Em
   Where you going baby
G                     Em
   Whats in Tennessee-e
                                    A
You never said a word about Memphis    so, who is she?

[Outro]
D
It keeps raining down the tear stained face
        G                 D        D   G
Of this lonely town and I drowned
