I Bought the Mississippi River Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][F][Am][F][Am][F]
[Am][F][Am][F]
[E]
I bought the Mississip[Am]pi

[Verse 1]
[F]River[E][C]
[G]Of course that don't
include the [Am]towns
Or the [G]people[Am]
[G]Around [E]the Mississippi
Well, to [Am]cinch the deal the man threw
In a [F]boat with crew
And then I knew I'd [G]better grab that
River fast
It [Am]wouldn't last
They never do, they [D]nev[Dm]er do
[D]It would[E]n't last, last, last
So now I own the Mis[G]sissip

[Verse 2]
[Am]pi
[C]I c[G]ouldn't decide
if I should [Am]leave it there
Or [E]lug it out West with me
The [Am]best thing was to think about it
[F]Not to make a move I might re[G]gret
'Cause then I'd have to have the
[Am]Mississippi sent back East, complete
With [Dm]boat and crew
That wouldn't [E]do, do,
[G]do
[E][G][C][G]

[Verse 3]
[Am][G]
[Am]It's [G]mine, [E]all mine
(You know, it's yours, all yours)
It's mine, all mine
[Am](You know, it's yours,
[F][Am][F][Am][F]
[E]all yours)
Do rivers ever [G]need companions

[Verse 4]
[C]Sho[G]uld I inquire if the Seine [Am]is
[G]Avail[Am]able, [G]yea[E]h, I would rather have
A [Am]classy little Frenchy than a [F]Nile or
A Tybo, oh
Now [G]wait a minute, how about the
[Am]Amazon, now that could be [Dm]real fun
[D]For Mis[E]sissippi, for Mississippi
For Mississippi, My Mississippi

[Verse 5]
I hope that I [E]didn't make an error
I hope this [Am]ain't a lot[F][Am]
[F]more [Am]troub[F]le
Than [G]it's [Am]all really worth
