It keeps raining down the tear stained face of this  
Bb                F      Bb 
lonely town and I drown  
F                                                    Bb 
And I keep reaching for one good reason why you said good-bye 
      F        Bb 
turn around 
          Dm                 Bb 
oh you're leaving me in this empty state 
    Dm             C                  Bb 
and all I see are dark clouds as you drive away

Mississippi's crying baby

Mississippi's sad

I think we just figured out 
Eb 
that you ain't coming back 
F 
the sky can see you leaving 
       Bb 
and it can't hold back the tears 
     Dm                 C                 Bb 
its pouring down and my heart thinks its dying 
                F       Bb    F   Bb 
Mississippi's crying 

F                                                Bb 
Night keeps looking for him like shining in this driveway 
            F        Bb 
they don't shine 
    F                                          Bb  
and I keep hoping that this crazy storm will drive you home 
              F     Bb 
but not this time 
      Dm                Bb 
oh my only wish is to change the weather 
        Dm           C              Bb 
are you coming back or is it gonna rain forever? 

 

Dm             Bb 
Where you going baby? What's in Tennessee? 
F                                   C 
you never said a word about Memphis 
C          Bb 
so who is she? 
  
F                                                     
It keeps raining down the tear stained face of this

and I drown
