Mississippi Flush Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Well, they got a little game
called five card draw
They [Gm]take it ser[G]ious in Arkansas
You can [C]make a little money
wagerin' on cards
You [Gm]can't get to heaven livin' [G]this hard
De[D]liver me from my sorrow and shame
Re[G]lease me from my [D]burden and [G]pain.

[Verse 2]
It's [G]a one eyed jack the suicide king
The ace of spades
and two black queens
[C]Never draw to an inside straight
[G]I feel a ten's knockin' at the gate
De[D]liver me from my sorrow
and shame
Release me [G]from my [D]burden and [G]pain.

[Verse 3]
Ooh, [C]blackbird, blackbird fly away home
[G]Say a prayer over Saint John's bones
[D]Tell the gambler's their gonna
die alone
[G]Blackbird blackbird fly away home
Ooh, [C]blackbird,
blackbird come back again
[Gm]Don't tell momma where I've [G]been
I'm [D]goin' to the rive
I'm gonna jump in
Ohhh, [G]blackbird, blackbird come back

[Interlude 1]
again.

[Verse 4]
It's [G]an ace high straight
and all the same suit
Read 'em and [Gm]weep this
hand can't [G]lose
[C]Somebody said it ain't good enough
'Cause [G]that don't beat
a Mississippi flush
Mr. Ledbetter will you tell me again
What's a Mississippi flush
and how's it beat this hand
He said they [C]don't ask
questions in the graveyard
[G]It's a small revolver and any five cards
[D]De liver me from my sorrow and shame
Re[G]lease me from my [D]burden and [G]pain.

[Verse 5]
Ohh, [C]blackbird, blackbird fly away home
[G]Say a prayer over Saint John's bones
[D]Tell the gambler's their gonna
die alone
[G]Blackbird, blackbird fly away home
Ohh, [C]blackbird,
blackbird come back again
[G]Don't tell momma where I've been
I'm [D]goin' to the rive
I'm gonna jump in
Ohhh, [G]blackbird, blackbird come back

[Outro 1]
again...
