Intro

A7 (8 bars)

Verse 1

[A7]I come from a river town
[A7]Talk about nothing to do
[A7]Skeeters come out when the sun goes down
[A7]Gets awful sticky, too
[D9]The Mississippi [A7]delta
[D9]The birthplace of the [A7]blues
[E9]I was born right here in the [A7]662

Verse 2

[A7]Lots a people get up early
[A7]Lots of people getting high
[A7]They got a church on every corner
[A7]If you're searching for the bye and bye
[D9]There's a sound oozing from the [A7]ground
[D9]And it cuts right [A7]through
[E9]You can only find it
Down here in the [A7]662

[A7]My daddy worked at Cooper Tire
[A7]My mama was raised in the hills
[A7]My brother moved off to Baltimore
[A7]And I'm left here paying these bills

dab in the 662[A7]
[E9]I'm still kicking these blues down in the 662[A7]
