Intro: D G A D

[Verse 1]

  D              G
I found out about her
       A                  D
Her name's Mississippi Isabel
       D                G
She grows wild strawberries
        A                D
She's made of ivory and pearl


      D               G
To look at the universe
        A            D
She'd abandoned the world
   D                        G
I go with her back to the darkness
      A                    D
I'd give my life for this girl


[Chorus]

   D                   G
I rode around on my bicycle
        A         D
All the way in the rain
       D                             G
She kissed me once I took her out for lunch
        A               D
And she never kissed me again

[Verse 2]

       D                     G
Her beauty knows no tick of time
          A                  D
She's the song of the nightingale
       D                          G
The torturer, the remedy and the tragedy
          A         D
In the passionate tale


          D           G
And I begged for forgiveness
 A                 D
for the way that I am
       D               G
And I hope she doesn't blame men
           A          D
for the inelegance of men


[Chorus]

   D                   G
I rode around on my bicycle
          A         D
All the way in the rain
       D                              G
She kissed me once I took her out for lunch
        A               D
And she never kissed me again

[Chorus]

   D                G

All the way in the rain
       D                               G
She kissed me once I took her out for lunch
        A                D
And she never kissed me again
