[D] [E]
[A]
[D]
I'm growing [Bb] tired of [Em] the big city lights, [A] tired of the glamour, [E] and tired of [D] the sights.
[G] In all my dreams I am [B] roaming once [Em] more, [E] back to my home on [A] the old river shore.
[D] I am sad and weary,
[G] far away [Gm] from home,
[D] miss the [A] Mississippi [D] and you [A] dear.
[D] Days are dark and dreary,
[G] everywhere [Gm] I roam,
[D] miss the [A] Mississippi [D] and you.
[G] Rolling the wide [D] world over,
[Bm] always [E] alone [A] and blue, so blue.
[D] Nothing seems to cheer me [G] under [Gm] heaven's dawn,
[D] miss the [A] Mississippi [D] and you.
[G] Oh de lay, oh de lay, de [D] oh lay, oh de lay, oh de lay, oh [A] de lay.
[D]
Memories are bringing
[G] happy days [Gm] of yore,
[D] miss the [A] Mississippi [D] and you [A] dear.
[D] Mockingbirds are singing
[G] round the [Gm] cabin door,
[D] miss the [A] Mississippi [D] and you.
[G] Rolling the wide [D] world over,
[Bm] always [E] alone [A] and blue, so blue.
[D] Longing for my homeland, [Em] [G] muddy water [Gm] shore,
[D] miss [A] the Mississippi [D] and you.
[G] Oh de lay, oh de lay, [D] de oh lay, oh de lay, Mississippi [A] and
[D] you.
