[Chorus]
G C
It's a long long way down the Mississippi
G D C D C
It's a long long way to New Orleans
G C A
And my daddy plays a mean guitar in some broken town
D G
Oh faraway down to New Orleans
[Verse 1]
D G
Daddy never taught me any music
D G
Denied me of my chance to play guitar
D G C
So I went North to find a band that learned his style of music
D G
Real old fashioned country rock and roll
[Chorus]
G C
It's a long long way down the Mississippi
G D C D C
It's a long long way to New Orleans
G C A
And my daddy plays a mean guitar in some broken town
D G
Oh faraway down to New Orleans
[Verse 2]
D G
I've learned to play my daddy's kind of music
D G C
Developing my individual style
D
And soon he's gonna hear me play
G C
The songs he love so well
D G
Real old fashioned country rock and roll
[Chorus]
G C
It's a long long way down the Mississippi
G D C D C
It's a long long way to New Orleans
G C A
And my daddy plays a mean guitar in some broken town
D G
Oh faraway down to New Orleans
[Outro]
D G
Way way down To New Orleans
D G
Way way down To New Orleans
G
Way down
