NOTE: When playing this song Gabe Lee does a lot of "Bass Runs"
when going from one chord to the next. I know that I could
have named a lot of these chords as slash chords but to me
those experienced and playing this song know what they are
and how to use them.
If you don't understand what was just stated then just play
"cluttered" and intimidating by using those slash chords and
which to me are not needed. Please keep this in mind and

It's cold in Mississippi longest day of the year

The geese cry in the wind

As I wade into the Delta

Her cancer gave no warning

Dug its roots into her ground

Wild as the kudzu

On the highways of the south

Barely time to dream of better days to get her by

She was gone in the blink of an eye

Time to time we all lose something

But it ain't worth nothing to me

You can take me when she goes

Last spring you cleaned out the cast iron

You hung it up

It carves me up just thinking 'bout it
[Verse]

Wish I could take you driving
G Am
We'd roll into town

See the Christmas lights up on the square
Am C
Watchin' the sun go down

Settin' fire to the air

No honey, we ain't gotta go anywhere
