[Intro]
| F#m7 | E/G# | A | % |
| B | % | B [break]


[Verse]
                      A
He called from Kansas City
A                            E
 He said I’m on the Missouri side
C#m    B               A
   She said you had me worried
        E/G#          F#m     B
I was expecting you tonight
    E            A                   B            C#m   B/D# E
The silence that followed caused her heartbeat to race
A   E/G#          F#m            E/G#             A
 So she got out a map, her hands trembling as she sat
                           | B | B Bsus4 | B [break]
For the next words he would say


[Chorus]
                         A
Then her tears fell on Missouri
A                     G#m 
  Like rain a-pourin’ down
C#m  C#m/B              A
     He just called and told her
        E/G#          F#m 
About a new love he’d found
B     E        E/G#  A
  The children lay a-sleepin’
           B                  C#m  C#m/B
They don’t know their daddy’s gone
A         E/G#            F#m
  And her tears fell on Missouri
B                          | E | A B | E [break]
  From their little Georgia home


[Verse]
                        A
She said what about our babies
A                        E
  Don’t you remember the day
C#m    B               A
   The doctor gave ’em to you
                  E/G#              F#m     B
And your tears of joy fell on their face
              E/G#             A
You should’ve thought of their feelings
A                    B           C#m   B/D# E 
 Cause it’s not just you and me alone
A             E/G#    F#m        E/G#             A
  And what am I gonna say to our angels when they wake
                            | B | B Bsus4 | B [break]
And ask why dad’s not coming home


[Chorus]
                         A
Then her tears fell on Missouri
A                     G#m 
  Like rain a-pourin’ down
C#m  C#m/B              A
     He just called and told her
        E/G#          F#m 
About a new love he’d found
B     E        E/G#  A
  The children lay a-sleepin’
           B                  C#m  C#m/B
They don’t know their daddy’s gone
A         E/G#            F#m
  And her tears fell on Missouri
B            Cdim          | C#m | % | E [break]
  From their little Georgia home


[Solo] (chorus part 1)
| A | % | % | % |
| G#m | % | C#m | C#m/B |
| A | % | % | E/G# | 
| F#m | % | B | 


[Chorus] (part 2) + coda
    E        E/G#  A
The children lay a-sleepin’
           B                  C#m  C#m/B
They don’t know their daddy’s gone
A         E/G#            F#m
  And her tears fell on Missouri
B            Cdim          | C#m | C#m/B |
  From their little Georgia home
A         E/G#            F#m
  And her tears fell on Missouri
B                          | E | A B | Eadd9
  From their little Georgia home
