Tom: A
A F#m D Bm A F#m D Bm
[Verse 1]
A F#m
State Road 92
D Bm
Eastbound out of town
A F#m
Shell Rock, Iowa
D Bm
Had no chance to keep you around
A F#m
I hear it being said in town
D Bm
How a great rain's gonna come
A F#m
Now that you've gone away
D Bm E
Your smile was the sun
[Chorus]
D E
But the Mississippi River
A A/G# F#m E
Could never be too swelled with rain
D E
Even if it jumped the banks
A A/G# F#m E
To flood the whole great plain
D E
I'd just build a boat
A A/G# F#m
And make it big enough for two
D E
Then I'd sail myself
A F#m D Bm
Right home to you
[Verse 2]
A F#m
State Road 92
D
Also goes westbound
Bm
Right back to town
A F#m
You've got the rain at your back
D Bm E
So you won't stick around
[Chorus]
D E
But the Mississippi River
A A/G# F#m E
Could never be too swelled with rain
D E
Even if it jumped the banks
A A/G# F#m E
To flood the whole great plain
D E
I'd just build a boat
A A/G# F#m
And make it big enough for two
D E
Then I'd sail myself
A
Right home to you
F#m D Bm
Home to you
[Bridge]
C
And when the rain begins to fall
D
We can only watch the flood tides rise
C
And when the light begins to shine
D
We can finally find our way back home
E
We'll shield our eyes
[Chorus]
D E
But the Mississippi River
A A/G# F#m E
Could never be too swelled with rain
D E
Even if it jumped the banks
A A/G# F#m E
To flood the whole great plain
D E
I'd just build one boat
A A/G# F#m
And make it big enough for two
D E
Then I'd sail myself
A
Right home to you
F#m
Home to you
D Bm
Home to you
