[Verse 1]
[D]I've been here lon[Bm]ger and I'm str[G]onger
and I've [A]seen as much as any [D]man
Now many's [Bm]crossed me but none have [G]bossed
me and I [A]don't believe they ever can
[Bm]

[Verse 2]
[D]
Hello [Bm]son I see you're w[G]earin' a gun and you
say [A]you're on your way into [D]town
You say your Ma told you not
[Bm]to b[G]ut you feel you got to
Get that man that gunned
your daddy [A]down[D]
From the sheriff's office to the [Bm]gallows [G]boy
that's a mighty mighty short [A]walk
So why [D]you worry your horse [Bm]son let you and I
take [G]it easy and have a little [A]talk
Cause I've been here [Bm]longer...
[G]

[Verse 3]
Well I can see that [Bm]you're angry [G]and I guess
you've got plenty right to [A]be[D]
But the law can handle [Abdim]your daddy's [Bm]killer
[G]much better than you or me[A][D]
And remember your promise
you made [Bm]your mother
[G]That you never would fought on a g[A]un
So go [D]on home to her boy cause she [G]needs [Bm]you
[G]she wouldn't stand to lose her only son[A][D]
Well I see you thought it [Bm]over and I'm [G]glad
to see you going [A]home boy
And you wanna know [D]what they call me
Well I'm just the river they call
me [G]the Mississippi
[D]I've been here lon[Bm]ger...
