Mississippi - Bob Dylan Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard Bob Dylan Mississippi (2001) (Dylan) From: "Love and Theft" / TURNAROUND 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + CHORDS x-x-0-0-1-0 x-x-2-0-1-0 x-x-3-0-1-0 3-x-2-0-1-0 x-3-3-0-1-1 x-0-0-0-0-3 x-2-0-0-0-3 x-3-x-0-0-3 x-x-0-0-0-3 x-x-2-0-0-3 Every step of the way We walk the line Your days are numbered So are mine Time is pilin' up, we struggle and we scrape We're all boxed in, no- where to escape City's just a jungle More games to play Trapped in the heart of it Tryin' to get away I was raised in the country, I been workin' in the town I been in trouble ever since I set my suitcase down BRIDGE Got nothin' for you, I had nothin' before Don't even have anything for myself anymore Sky full of fire, pain pourin' down Nothing you can sell me, I'll see you around All my powers of expression And thoughts so sublime Could never do you justice In reason or rhyme Only one thing I did wrong Stayed in Mississippi a day too long Well, the devil's in the alley Mule's in the stall Say anything you wanna I have heard it all I was thinkin' 'bout the things that Rosie said I was dreaming I was sleepin' in Ro - sie's bed Walkin' through the leaves Falling from the trees Feelin' like a stranger Nobody sees So many things that we never will undo I know you're sorry, I'm sor - ry too BRIDGE Some people will offer you their hand and some won't Last night I knew you, tonight I don't I need somethin' strong to distract my mind I'm gonna look at you 'til my eyes go blind Well I got here followin' The southern star I crossed that river Just to be where you are Only one thing I did wrong Stayed in Mississippi a day too long Well my ship's been split to splinters And it's sinkin' fast I'm drownin' in the poison Got no future, got no past But my heart is not weary, it's light and it's free I've got nothin' but affection for all those who've sailed with me Everybody movin' If they ain't already there Everybody got to move Somewhere Stick with me baby, stick with me anyhow Things should start to get interestin' right about now BRIDGE My clothes are wet, tight on my skin Not as tight as the corner that I painted myself in I know that fortune is waitin' to be kind So give me your hand and say you'll be mine Well, the emptiness is endless Cold as the clay You can always come back, But you can't come back all the way Only one thing I did wrong Stayed in Mississippi a day too long
