[Verse 1]

          E           A               B            E
With just a sleeping bag and an old guitar, I left the band in New Orleans
                E               A                 B                   E
I did some time with the bottle, some with the river queens
E             A
I never thought I would meet a girl
F#              A    B
who could turn my head around
E                     A                  B      E
Till I met that Mississippi Lady in sleepy Gulfport town

[Chorus]

E                   A              B    E
She was a Mississippi Lady, my lovin' Gulfport gal
E                A                 B                  E
She taught me how to love and she really loved me well
E            A              F#7
She took me up to heaven then she brought me down
E                   A              B               E
That Mississippi Lady, Sweet Cordelia Brown

[Verse 2]

E                A            B         E
Hot July in Gulfport and I was working in the bars
E                  A                      B           E
And she was working on the street with the rest of the evening stars
E                A                 F#                A      B
She said, "I never met a guy who could turn my head around"
E                  A                 B                   E
And that's really sayin' something for Sweet Cordelia Brown

[Chorus]

            E              A              B       E
She was a Mississippi Lady, my lovin' Gulfport gal
E                 A          B           E
She taught me how to love and she really loved me well
E                 A                 F#7
She took me up to heaven then she brought me down
E               A               B              E
That Mississippi Lady, Sweet Cordelia Brown

[Verse 3]

E               A              B      E
Now I'm back in New York City playin' in a band
E                 A         B        E
But my mind's on Mississippi, is it hard to understand?
E                A               F#                A         B
I never thought I would meet a girl who could bring me that far down
E                A                B                    E
Like the girl I met in Gulfport, Sweet Cordelia Brown

[Chorus]

E                 A               B      E
She was a Mississippi Lady, my lovin' Gulfport gal
E               A              B       E
She taught me how to love and she really loved me well
E                A              F#7
She took me up to heaven then she brought me down
E                A            B           E
That Mississippi Lady, Sweet Cordelia Brown
E             A              B                  E
That Mississippi Lady, Sweet Cordelia Brown
