Tupelo Mississippi Flash Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
I'm [G]gonna tell you a story
that's [D]all about
This job I [G]had one time as a talent scout,
hmm.
I had a hard day at the office and the
[D]boss wasn't in town
The day this hired legged gui[G]tar picker
just happened to come around.
Well, he walks in my office with
a great big [C]grin,
[D]And folks that's where
[G]my story really begins.
He said, 'Son my name is
[C]Boregard Rippy.
I come to you from Tupelo Mississippi.
[D]I write songs that'll sing like a bird,
I play lick[G]s on my guitar like
you ain't never heard.
But I'm down on my luck and
things are just a little slack.
I gotta [C]quarter in my pocket
and a shirt on my back.
But [D]you buy me some supper and give
me a place I can sleep
He said 'I'll sing [G]you some songs
that'll [D]rock your [G]head to sleep.
I got talent [C]boy. Said back [D]home they call me
the Tupelo Mississippi [G]Flash[D][Ab]
Well I knew I was in a [E]room
with some [Ab]kind of [Db]a nut
When he pulled out that pack
of used cigarette butts.
So [Eb]that's when I told him
'We can't use you today'
So I [Ab]handed the boy a dollar
and sent him on his way
Well the boss got back and
we both had a laugh
[Db]When I told him 'bout the
Tupelo Mississippi Flash
And [Eb]pretty soon I had the story
circling around
About this [Ab]Missis[E]sippi nut
[Ab]that we had in our town.
I said, 'watch [Db]him everybody,
the boy's squirrelly!
He walks around call[Eb]ing himself the Tupelo
[Ab]Mississippi[Db][D][A][D][A]
Flash.'
Well it happened one day while
I was driving to my [D]home
I just happened to have
my car radio [G]on.[D]
When I [E]heard the jockey raving
about a brand new [Em]smash[E]
[D]By a [A]kid called the Tupelo
Mississippi Flash
[D]I almost wrecked my automobile
I went [E]through a red light
I hit the [A]traffic cop....Why??
Well my story's got an ending
and it's short and sweet
[D]The boss man he fired me and
left me out in the street
But I got [E]a new job now and
I'm [Em]as learnin' real [E]fast
I'm [D]drivin' the [D]bus [A]for
the Tupelo Mis[D]sissippi [A]Flash
An[D]d his Cadillac I'm
driving that for him too
And [E]that yacht he's got.
And is there [A]a plane??
[D]Well chauffeur, chauffeur I hear him say
Tupelo Missis[E]sippi,

[Outro 1]
who ever heard of it...........
[D][A][D]
