F Bb F Bb
F
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
Chorus:
F
Mississippi's crying baby
Bb
Mississippi's sad
F
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?
Chorus
Dm (maybe?) 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
Bb
lonely town
F Bb
and I drown
Chorus
F Bb
Mississippi's crying
F Bb
oooh oooh
