[Intro] – G riff
G
Well I’m crossing the Mississippi into Memphis tonight
D
I got a little lady named Suzanna on the other side
G
And when that Memphis lady’s on my mind
C G
You can see me headin’ cross that Tennessee borderline
D G
Crossin’ the Mississippi into Heaven tonight
G
I got a good payin’ job in Little Rock Arkansas
D
I’m a hard workin’ guy, patriotic, and I don’t break the law
G
But when my fantasies start to grow
C G
Well I jump in the car and it’s down the road
D G
Crossin’ the Mississippi into Heaven tonight
[Chorus]
C G
Well there’s a devil drivin’ this car down the highway
D C G
There’s a burnin’ in my body that I can’t control
C G
Red Wine and a fun time and E-Easy lovin’
D
That’s why I’m crossing the Mississippi into Heaven
D
Crossin’ the Mississippi into Heaven
D G
Crossin’ the Mississippi into Heaven tonight
[Lead Break]
(C G C D C)
[Chorus]
C G
Well there’s a devil drivin’ this car down the highway
D C G
There’s a burnin’ in my body that I can’t control
C G
Red Wine and a fun time and E-Easy lovin’
D
That’s why I’m crossing the Mississippi into Heaven
D
Crossin’ the Mississippi into Heaven
D G
Crossin’ the Mississippi into Heaven tonight
G
Crossin’ the Mississippi
G
Crossin’ the Mississippi
G
Crossin’ the Mississippi into Heaven tonight
