Chords in this song
Strum
D-DU-UDU
Down in Mississippi&8232;
It's a perfect time of year
&8232;[A]
To break out the jumper cables
&8232;[A]
And try to crank this ol' John Deere&8232;
I can't wait to fire it up&8232;
And put er' into gear
&8232;[A]
I know I should be hurtin'
But I'm smiling ear to ear
Cuz I'm mowin down the roses
I'm mowin down the roses
&8232;[D7]
I'm mowin down the roses&8232;
That you planted in our yard
I poured out your purty perfume&8232;
Straight down the toilet bow
l&8232;A
And I ripped your face straight off the wall&8232;
Left nothing but some holes&8232;
I loaded up your closets&8232;
Into fifteen garbage bags
&8232;[A]
And I smoked with your potpourri&8232;
On a burn pile in the back
Cuz I'm mowin down the roses
&8232;[A]
I'm mowin down the roses&8232;
I'm mowin down the roses&8232;
That you planted in our yard
Down in Mississippi
&8232;[A]
Its getting perfectly clear
&8232;[A]
That anything you used to love&8232;
Just aint gonna grow round here
I'm mowing down the roses&8232;
That you planted in our yard
I'm mowin down the roses&8232;
I'm mowin down the roses
&8232;[A]
I'm mowin down the roses&8232;
