[Verse 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 walkin' in like a man
E
Without a word I passed that guitar over
E
He tuned it up like I'd never seen
A crooked smile was his expression
G A E
Then he closed his eyes and began to sing
[Chorus]
E
Oh Lord why have you forsaken me
E
Got me down in Mississippi where I don't want to be
E
Oh Lord why have you forsaken me
E
Got me down in Mississippi 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]
E
Oh Lord why have you forsaken me
E
Got me down in Mississippi where I don't want to be
E
Oh Lord why have you forsaken me
E
Got me down in Mississippi where I don't want to be
[Verse 3]
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 walkin' like a man
[Chorus]
E
Oh Lord why have you forsaken me
E
Got me down in Mississippi where I don't want to be
E
Oh Lord why have you forsaken me
E
Got me down in Mississippi where I don't want to be
