Miss ol' St. Louie, wish I was back
                         E
Picking my guitar by the railroad track
A                       D              A
All them pretty womens, hangin' 'round me
                           E       A
Miss ol' St. Louie, how it used to be
D           A      C#m      F#m
Mississippi River, water so deep
A                             F#m       D
Running down to Memphis on to New Orleans
                 A                      F#m
Trying to hustle quarters, nickels, and dimes
A               E                A
Ol' St. Louie's where I spent my time

D               A              C#         F#m
Standing on the corner with my old wooden box
A             C#          F#m           D
Watching them steam boats gather at the dock
           A           Em         F#m
Cotton and tobacco and people for sale
A                           F#m       D
Trying to stay clear of the St. Louie jail
                 A           G#m         F#m
Strumming to the rythm of an old freight train
A                       E         A
Ol' St. Louie's where I played my game

A                        F#m      D
Picking my guitar by the railroad track
                A       Em             F#m
All them pretty womens, hangin' 'round me
A                          E       A
Miss ol' St. Louie, how it used to be
