Written by Phil Ochs

	  		
Intro:

   F   Bb   F    F    
   F   Bb   C    C    
   F   F    Bb   F    
  F   Bb   C    C   

F         Bb           F 
I'm going down to Mississippi 
          Bb              C 
I'm going down a southern road 
F                Bb     F 
And if you never see me again 
                Bb     C 
Remember that I had to go 
  F             Bb     C 
Remember that I had to go 

       F         Bb           F 
It's a long road down to Mississipi 
                  Bb             C 
It's a short road back the other way 
       F                         Bb          F 
If the cops pull you over to the side of the road 
               Bb         C 
You won't have nothing to say 
        F          Bb         C 
No, you won't have nothing to say 

          F           Bb           F 
There's a man waiting down in Mississippi 
                        Bb           C 
And he's waiting with a rifle in his hand 
         F                            Bb           F 
And he's looking down the road for an out-of-state car 
                   Bb               C 
And he thinks he's fighting for his land 
        F           Bb               C 
Yes, he thinks he's fighting for his land 

       F              Bb          F 
And he won't know the clothes I'm wearing 
                        Bb          C 
And he doesn't know the name that I own 
        F                    Bb      F 
But his gun is large and his hate is hard 
                 Bb              C 
And he knows I'm coming down the road 
        F         Bb              C 
Yes, he knows I'm coming down the road 

     F           Bb             F 
It's not for the glory that I'm leaving 
                 Bb               C 
It's not trouble that I'm looking for 
            F                        Bb         F 
But there's lots of good work that's calling me down 
                      Bb    C 
And The waiting won't do no more 
        F             Bb    C 
No, The waiting won't do no more 

      F           Bb            F 
Don't call me the brave one for going 
                Bb          C 
No, don't pin a medal to my name 
    F                     Bb        F 
For even if there was any choice to make 
                  Bb       C 
I'd be going down just the same 
       F          Bb       C 
I'd be going down just the same 

    F                Bb    F 
For someone's got to go to mississipi 
                          Bb                  C 
Just as sure as there's a right and there's a wrong 
F                       Bb        F 
Even though you say the time will change 
             Bb       C 
That time is just too long 
     F       Bb       C 
That time is just too long 

   F         Bb      F 
So I'm going down to Mississipi 
          Bb              C 
I'm going down a southern road 
    F            Bb     F 
And if you never see me again 
                Bb     C 
Remember that I had to go 
  F             Bb     C 
Remember that I had to go
