Cry No Mississippi
Recorded by The SteelDrivers

(Capo on 4)

Intro.:  (C7) x 8 bars

(Bb7) I still see (Am7)tail lights in the (C7)dark
(Bb7) Smell your (Am7)perfume in the (C7)air
(Bb7) This is where a (Am7)fool might fall a-(C7)part
Mmm, but I ain't (G7)goin' there

(Chorus)
I won't go (F7)down in a burst of (C7)flames, I won't stay (F7)locked up in your (C7)chains
Yeah, it (F7)hurts but it ain't (C7)strong enough to (G7)whip me
I might (F7)stagger and I might (C7)fall, but I won't (F7)beg and I won't (C7)crawl
A tear or (F7)two might fall in-(C7)to my shot of (G7)whiskey
But I won't (Bb7)cry (Am7)no (G7)Mis-(F7)sissippi

Solo:  (C7) x 4 bars

(Bb7) There's nowhere to (Am7)hide in this small (C7)town
(Bb7) I know our (Am7)paths are bound to (C7)cross
(Bb7) Girl, I might (Am7)stand on shaky (C7)ground
When I see all (G7)that I lost

(Chorus)
But I won't go (F7)down in a burst of (C7)flames, I won't stay (F7)locked up in your (C7)chains
Yeah, it (F7)hurts but it ain't (C7)strong enough to (G7)whip me
I might (F7)stagger and I might (C7)fall, but I won't (F7)beg and I won't (C7)crawl
A tear or (F7)two might fall in-(C7)to my shot of (G7)whiskey
But I won't (Bb7)cry (Am7)no (G7)Mis-(F7)sissippi

Solo:  |(F7) No |(C7)no |(F7) |(C7) |(F7) |(C7) |(G7) |(G7) |

Oh, I hate to (Ab7)rain to on your pa-(Bb7)rade, I hate to (C7)make your bubble bust
It's gonna (Ab7)take more tears than you can (Bb7)make to make my (G7)heart turn into rust

(Chorus)
But I won't go (F7)down in a burst of (C7)flames, I won't stay (F7)locked up in your (C7)chains
Yeah, it (F7)hurts but it ain't (C7)strong enough to (G7)whip me
I might (F7)stagger and I might (C7)fall, but I won't (F7)beg and I won't (C7)crawl
A tear or (F7)two might fall in-(C7)to my shot of (G7)whiskey
But I won't (Bb7)cry (Am7)no (G7)Mis-(F7)sissippi

Oh, I won't (Bb7)cry (Am7)no (G7)Mis-(F7)sissippi
