[Chorus 1]
E
Late one night behind corn whiskey
E
I fell asleep with a guitar in my hand
E
I dreamed about the ghosts of Mississippi
G A E
And the blues came walking like a man
[Verse 1]
E
Without a word I passed that guitar over
E
He tuned it up like I'd never seen
E
A crooked smile was his expression
G A E
Then he closed his eyes and began to sing
[Chorus 2]
E7
Oh Lord why have you forsaken me
E7
Got me down in Mississippi
E7
Where I don't want to be
E7
Oh Lord why have you forsaken me
E7
Got me down in Mississippi
E7
Where I don't want to be

[Verse 2]
E
When I woke up I looked into the mirror
E
I saw no reflection for a while
E
But as my eyes came into focus
G A E
I recognized that crooked smile
[Chorus 2]
E7
Oh Lord why have you forsaken me
E7
Got me down in Mississippi
E7
Where I don't want to be
E7
Oh Lord why have you forsaken me
E7
Got me down in Mississippi
E7
Where I don't want to be
[Chorus 1]
E
Late one night behind corn whiskey
E
I fell asleep with a guitar in my hand
E
I dreamed about the ghosts of Mississippi
G A E
And the blues came walking like a man
[Chorus 2]
E7
Oh Lord why have you forsaken me
E7
Got me down in Mississippi
E7
Where I don't want to be
E7
Oh Lord why have you forsaken me
E7
Got me down in Mississippi
E7
Where I don't want to be
