[Intro]
F# B F#
[Verse]
F# B F#
Me and Mark Twain were having us a ball
F# B F#
Telling each other lies floating down from Hannibal
F# B F#
With a bottle and a worm and a cane pole
F# B F#
We were fishing for secrets where the catfish crawl
[Chorus]
F# B F#
And the Mississippi River's flowing downstream
F# B F#
Meet the Gulf of Mexico somewhere downstream
F# B F#
Meet the Atlantic Ocean somewhere downstream
F# B F#
Gonna meet you in the water somewhere downstream
[Interlude]
A D x4
[Verse]
F# B F#
Well we picked up Harry Truman floating down from Independence
F# B F#
We said what about the war, he said good riddance
F# B F#
We said what about the bomb, are you sorry that you did it
F# B F#
He said pass me that bottle and mind your own business
[Chorus]
F# B F#
And the Mississippi River's flowing downstream
F# B F#
Meet the Gulf of Mexico somewhere downstream
F# B F#
Meet the Atlantic Ocean somewhere downstream
F# B F#
Gonna meet you in the water somewhere downstream
[Solo]
A D x8
[Verse]
F# B F#
We were rounding St. Louie and heading for the coast
F# B F#
When we picked up Chuck Berry in a little row boat
F# B F#
With one oar in the water and one in the air
F# B F#
A lightning rod for a white guitar
A D A
Then lightning struck once and lightning struck twice
A D A
And I said if there's a God he sure ain't nice
A D A
Chuck said God is an Indian giver
A D A
I don't trust nothing but the Mississippi River
[Chorus]
F# B F#
And the Mississippi River's flowing downstream
F# B F#
Meet the Gulf of Mexico somewhere downstream
F# B F#
Meet the Atlantic Ocean somewhere downstream
F# B F#
Gonna meet you in the water somewhere downstream
A D A
And the Mississippi River's flowing downstream
A D A
Meet the Gulf of Mexico somewhere downstream
A D A
Meet the Atlantic Ocean somewhere downstream
A D A
Gonna meet you in the water somewhere downstream
