Capo on 1st fret
One two three four
MI LA SI
LA SI MI LA
The last time I saw her she was wavin' me goodbye
LA SI MI
She swore no other boy would take my place
LA SI MI LA
I took a Mississippi Queen through New Orleans and down the Bayou
LA LA LA LA SI
I hoped to find my destiny, my fortune and my face
Chorus
MI LA SI
Please tell her that I said hello
MI LA SI
Explain to her I didn't wanna go
MI FA#
But the message from her daddy said
LA SI
He's gonna see me dead
MI SI MI LA
And if I can get out now, she'll never know
SI MI
She'll never know, never know
MI LA SI MI
LA SI MI LA
I stayed around, I played around with all those Southern belles
LA LA SI MI
But they took away my money and my pride
LA SI MI LA
I had no place to go and the rest you know darn well
LA LA LA LA SI
Livin' out the gutter ain't so easy to describe
LA SI MI LA
But I still had my guitar, so I joined a dirty band
LA SI MI
Workin' in a smoky downtown bar
LA SI MI LA
When comes along this big wheel with a contract in his hand
LA LA LA LA LA
Said, 'put your mark along here boy
LA LA LA SI
I'm gonna make you a Rock 'n' Roll star'
Chorus
MI LA SI
Please tell her that I said hello
MI LA SI
Explain to her I didn't wanna to go
MI FA#
But the message from her daddy said
LA SI
He's gonna see me dead
MI SI MI LA
And if I can get out now, she'll never know
SI MI LA SI MI
Never know, never know
MI LA SI MI
MI LA SI MI
MI LA SI
Well the years have come and gone
MI LA
And I was passing through to find
LA LA SI MI
That my home town was still the same to see
MI LA SI MI LA
Well, the memory I had of her had crumbled from my mind
LA LA LA LA LA SI
I really didn't think she'd still be waiting here for me
Chorus
MI LA SI
Please tell her that I said hello
MI LA SI
Explain to her I didn't wanna to go
MI FA#
But the message from her daddy said
LA SI
He's gonna see me dead
MI SI MI LA
And if I can get out now, she'll never know
SI MI LA SI
Never know, never know
repeat E A B 2 times mmmmmhhh yeah
MI SI MI LA
And if I can get out now, she'll never know
SI MI
Never know, never know
E A B....never know, never know,
