[Verse 1]
C               E7
On the day when I was born
F                  Am
Daddy sat down and cried.
F                      C        G
I had the mark just as plain as day;
      D7             G7
Which could not be denied.
C                          E7
They say that Cain caught Abel
F              Am
Rollin' loaded dice;
F                C       G
Ace of Spades behind his ear
    F                 E7
And him not thinkin' twice.


[Chorus]
Am
Halfstep, Mississippi uptown toodeloo
F                C         G
Hello, baby, I'm gone, goodbye
F             C        G
Half a cup of Rock and Rye.
F                   C        G
Farewell to you old Southern skies
    Am        E7
I'm on my way, on my way.

[Verse 2]
C               E7
If all you got to live for
F                  Am
Is what you left behind,
F               C        G
Get yourself a powder charge
      D7             G7
And seal that silver mine.
C                 E7
Lost my boots in transit, babe,
F                  Am
A pile of smokin' leather.
F                   C        G
I nailed a retread to my feet
    F                 E7
And prayed for better weather.


[Chorus]
Am
Halfstep, Mississippi uptown toodeloo
F                C         G
Hello, baby, I'm gone, goodbye
F             C        G
Half a cup of Rock and Rye.
F                   C        G
Farewell to you old Southern skies
    Am        E7
I'm on my way, on my way.

[Verse 3]
C                         E7
They say that when your ship comes in,
F                        Am
The first man takes the sails;
F                      C        G
The second takes the afterdeck,
      D7                  G7
The third the planks and rails
C                    E7
What's the point of callin' shots;
F                           Am
This cue ain't straight in line.
F                    C    G
Cue ball's made of styrofoam
    F                 E7
And no one's got the time.


[Chorus]
Am
Halfstep, Mississippi uptown toodeloo
F                C         G
Hello, baby, I'm gone, goodbye
F             C        G
Half a cup of Rock and Rye.
F                   C        G
Farewell to you old Southern skies
    Am        E7
I'm on my way, on my way, on my way!!

[Outro]
 A             D          A              D
Across the Rio Grandeeo, Across the lazy river.
