Verse 1
(G major) They
say (C major) she came from Natchez,
by the (A minor) way of New Orleans
Blew (G major) in like a gulf coast wind,
(F major) knocked you to your knees
For a (C major) while she made you happy
You (A minor) thought you'd found the one
Till the (F major) morning you woke up (C major)
and found her gone (G major)
She (C major) learned how to fly (G major)
From the eagle (A minor) in the tall (G major) pine
Saw freedom (F major) in the blue (C major) sky
Lord, she (D minor) loves the leaving song (G major)
Grew up (C major) on the Mississip (G major) pi
You got a (A minor) gypsy in her soul
(G major) Most night (F major) s your dreams (C major) are rolling
On (D minor) and on (G major)
You (F major) might have taught
her how to love (A minor)
Might (F major) have never taught
(G major) her how (C major) to run (G major) (A minor)
(G major) Now you're (C major) up there on your bar stool
Whiskey (A minor) on your breath
Staring (G major) at (D major) (G major) the postcard
That she sen (F major) t from way out west
Check (G major) (C major) ing out the postmark
Think you'll (A minor) pack your bags and go
But don't (F major) bother
She's already (C major) down the road (G major)
She (C major) learned how (G major) to fly
From the eagle (A minor) in the tall (G major) pine
Saw freedom (F major) in the blue (C major) sky,
Lord, she (D minor) loves a livin' song (G major)
Grew up (C major) on the Mississip (G major) pi,
got a (A minor) gypsy in her soul
(G major) And most nights (F major) her dreams (C major) are rollin'
on (D minor) and on (G major)
You (F major) might have taught her how to love (A minor)
But (F major) the river taught (G major) her how, (C major)
you'll miss the way (G major)
Sunshine fol (F major) lows her around (C major)
But some things (F major) were never meant
(D minor) (E minor) to be (A minor) tied down (D minor)
She (C major) learned how to fly
From (A minor) the eagle in the tall (C major) pine
(G major) Saw freedom (F major) in (A minor) the blue (C major) sky
Lord, she loves (D minor) a leavin' (G major) song
Grew up (C major) on the Mississip (G major) pi
Got a (A minor) gypsy in her soul
(G major) And Lord knows (F major) she don't mind (C major) rollin'
On (D minor) and on and (G major) on
(F major) You might have taught her how to love (A minor)
But (F major) the river taught (G major) her how (C major) to run (G major)
The (A minor) river taught (G major) her how to
Outro 1
run
