[Intro]
Bm7 Bm7 D D
Bm7 Bm7 D D
[Verse]
Bm7
These Delta roads, everyone I know
D D
By the cotton fields and railroad tracks
Bm7
It's more than just the heat, most folks who get the chance
D D
To leave don't come back
Bm7
Last time I thought about you in a wedding dress
D D
I would've been holdin' your hand
Bm7
But at seventeen, you promise things
D
That you don't really understand
[Chorus]
D G
Mississippi in July, Magnolia moonlight
Bm7
The warm wind was just right
A
For staying up all night
G
And lettin' love fly
G
Mississippi in July
[Verse]
A Bm7
My heart might as well be one of those cans
D D
Tied to the back of your limousine
Bm7 D D
It was hangin' by a thread, so I went ahead and cut the string
Bm7
If I asked you way back when,
D D
If you'd take my hand, would you say "I do"?
Bm7
I'm supposed to hope you're happy,
D A
But letting go don't feel the way it's supposed to
[Chorus]
G
Mississippi in July, Magnolia moonlight
Bm7
The warm wind was just right
A
For staying up all night
G
And lettin' love fly
G
Mississippi in July
[Solo]
A Bm7 Bm7 D D
Bm7 Bm7 D A
[Chorus]
G
Magnolia moonlight
Bm7
The warm wind was just right
A
For staying up all night
G
But some memories never die, Honeysuckle kisses
Bm7 A
If I could live on wishes, I'd stay here all the time
[Outro]
G
Oh, Mississippi in July, Mississippi in July
G A Bm7 Bm7 D D
Oh,
Bm7 Bm7 D D
Bm7
These Delta roads, everyone I know
N.C.
By the cotton fields and railroad tracks
