Mississippi Mud Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[E]Whe[Am]n the[C] s[Am]un goes do[E]wn,[Dm]
the tide [Eb]goes out,
the [Dm]people gather round
[G]and they all [E]be gin to shout.
Hey hey, [Am]Uncle, [E]Dad,
[Am]it's a treat to beat your feet
on the Mississippi Mud,
it's a treat to beat your feet
on the Mississippi Mud.
[Dm]What a dance do th[Eb]ey do,
Lordy, [Dm]how I[E]'m telling you,
they don't need no band.
[Am]They keep time by clapping[E] their hands[Am]
Just [F]as happy [C]as a cow
chewing [Dm]on a[E] cud
When the people beat the feet
on the Missis[Dm]sippi [F]mud
[Fdim]Lordy, h[E]ow they play it
Goodness, how they sway it
Uncle [C]Joe, [E]Un [Am]cle Jim
[Dm]How they[Am] pound[Dm] the m[E]ire
with vigor [Bb]and vigor
[Am]Joy, [E]that music thr[F]ills me[E]
Boy, [F]it nearly kills me
What a [Am]show [A]when they [D]go
Say [E]they beat it up by the [Dm]fastest slow
The sun goes [G]down, the [Eb]tide goes out
The people [Ddim]gather round
[F]and [E]they all begin to shout
Hey, [Am]hey, Uncle [Dm]Dirt
It's a treat to [Am]beat your feet
on the Mississippi Mud
It's a treat to beat your feet
on the Mississippi Mud
[Dm]What [E]a dan[G]ce do [E]they do[Eb]
Lordy, [Dm]how I[C#]'m t[E]elling you
They [Am]don't need no band
They keep time by clapping their hands
Just [F]as [C]happy as a cow
[E]Chewing on a cud
when the people beat [Am]the thieves[A]
[E]On the Mississip[Am]pi
[E]Oh
[C][C#dim][C]
