[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.

F       Dm        B7      E7
Am      Ammaj7    Am7     D9
F       Am        D7      G7
 
[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
D7                   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
D7                   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
 
[Outro]
    A           D         A            D
Across the Rio Grandeeo, Across the lazy river
    A           D         A            D
Across the Rio Grandeeo, Across the lazy river
    A           D         A            D
Across the Rio Grandeeo, Across the lazy river
    A           D         A            D
Across the Rio Grandeeo, Across the lazy river
(Repeat and ad-lib)
