Tabbed by: http://www.andreasvockrodt.de [Intro] Ab7 [Verse] He said: Son my name is Boregard Rippy

Db7
I come to you from Tupelo Mississippi

Eb7
I write songs that'll sing like a bird

       Ab7
I play licks on my guitar

Like you ain't never heard But I'm down on my luck And things are just a little slack

        Db7
I gotta quarter in my pocket

And a shirt on my back

    Eb7
You buy me some supper

And give me a place I can sleep

     Ab7
I'll sing you some songs

That'll rock your head to sleep

      Db7
I got talent boy

     Eb7
Said back home they call me

                       Ab7  A7
The Tupelo Mississippi Flash

[Verse 2]

        A7
Well, I knew I was in a room

With some kind of a nut

        D7
When he pulled out that pack

Of used cigarette butts

   E7
So that's when I told him

"We can't use you today"

     A7
So I handed the boy a dollar

And sent him on his way Well, the boss got back And we both had a laugh

       D7
When I told him

'Bout the Tupelo Mississippi Flash

    E7
And pretty soon I had the story circling around

           A7
About this Mississippi nut

That we had in our town

        D7
I said: Watch him everybody

The boy's squirrelly

E7
He walks around calling himself

                       A7   Bb7
The Tupelo Mississippi Flash

[Verse 3]

         Bb7
Well, it happened one day

While I was driving to my home

       Eb7
I just happened to have my car radio on

       F7
When I heard the jockey raving about

A brand new smash

     Bb7
By a kid called

The Tupelo Mississippi Flash

  Eb7
I almost wrecked my automobile

F7
I went through a red light

          Bb7
I hit the traffic cop

[Verse 4] Well, my story's got an ending And it's short and sweet

             Eb7
You know the boss man he fired me

And left me out in the street

            F7
But I got a new job now

And I'm as learnin' real fast

    Bb7
I'm drivin' the bus

For the Tupelo Mississippi Flash

        Eb7
And his Cadillac

I'm driving that for him too

F7
And that yacht he's got

Bb7
And that big fat a plane?

Eb7
Well, chauffeur, show good I always say

F7
Tupelo Mississippi, who ever heard of it

Bb7
Ooh
