Charley Pride – Along The Mississippi (Guitar)

G7                 F              C
When we were young along the Mississippi

G7             F               C
Life was never lonely way back then

     Am        Em    A7             F
We'd meet each other down along the dirt road

    G7           F               C
And go for walks along the river bend

  G7                 F              C
I bought some ground along the Mississippi

G7                 F              C
And told you of my plans that lay ahead

    Am       Em       A7            F
But you were dreaming all about big city

    G7             F                C
And far off places in the books you read

         E7               F              C
Now when leaves fall down along the Mississippi

  E7              F               G7
I look back north into the chilly wind

  Am       Em        A7            F
I wait and watch for you along the dirt road

    G7               F           C
And wonder if you're coming back again

  G7            F              C
I built a house along the Mississippi

G7                  F                 C
And longing for the day when we would wed

  Am         Em  A7             F
I waited for you down along the dirt road

    G7             F              C
But far off places won your heart instead

         E7               F              C
Now when leaves fall down along the Mississippi

  E7              F               G7
I look back north into the chilly wind

  Am       Em        A7            F
I wait and watch for you along the dirt road

    G7               F           C
And wonder if you're coming back again

    G7               F           Am   F C
And wonder if you're coming back again
