[Verse 1]
    C              D
You tell me you're lonely
  Bm           Em
I know how you feel
        C         D
Leaning up at the bars
        Bm         Em
Rocking back on my heels
        C              D
She's a wild bird that wandered
    G         Em
Too easy, too stray
  C               D
I knew she had to lose me
   Bm           Cmaj7
To find her own way

[Chorus]
Em       C              G
Oh Cory, I'll be coming soon
            G     G7/B C            F     F#     G
Through the Lou'siana  pines to the Mississippi moon
            G     G7/B C            F     F#     G
Through the Lou'siana  pines to the Mississippi moon

[Verse 2]
  C           D
A wave on the ocean
  Bm              Em
A whirlwind on the sand
C        D
I took a notion
         Bm             Em
That her ship could not land
   C          D
So light me a candle
       G         Em
In the forest so deep
       C          D
Honey, lay down beside me
       Bm         Cmaj7
Angels rock us to sleep

[Chorus]
Em       C              G
Oh Cory, I'll be coming soon
            G     G7/B C            F     F#     G
Through the Lou'siana  pines to the Mississippi moon
            G     G7/B C            F     F#     G
Through the Lou'siana  pines to the Mississippi moon
