INTRO: [A#] [D#] [Gm] [F] [A#]

The [A#] Mississippi Delta was shining like a National gui-[D#]-tar
I am [Gm] following the river, down the highway, through the cradle of the civil [F] war

My [A#] traveling companion is nine years [D#] old, he is the [A#] child of mv first marriage ^[A#]^[G#]^[D#]

VERSE 2:
She comes [A#] back to tell me she's gone, as [D#] if I didn't know that, as if I didn't know my own [Gm] bed,
as [F] if I'd never noticed, the way she brushed her hair from her [A#] forehead

And she said [A#] losing love is like a window in your [D#] heart
Everybody sees you're [Gm] blown apart, everybody sees [F] the wind blow

VERSE 3:
There is a [A#] girl in New York City, who calls herself the human trampo-[D#]-line
