Start Jamming...
[D]
I think I see [G] a wagon rutted [D] road
With the weeds [Bm] growing tall between [A] the tracks
[F#m]
[A] [D] And along one side [G] runs a rusty barbed [D] wire fence
And beyond it sits [A] an old tar [D] paper shack
Oh, [G] Mississippi, you're on my mind [D] Mississippi, you're on my mind
[G]
Oh, [D] [F#m] Mississippi, [A] you're on [D] my mind
I think I hear [G] the noisy [Em] old [D] John Deere
In a field specked [B] with dirty [F#m] cotton leaves
[A]
[D] And beyond that [Am] field [G] runs a little country [D] stream
Down there you'll find [A] the cool green leaves [D] of mint
[A] Oh, [G] Mississippi, you're on my mind [D] Mississippi, you're on my mind

[D] Oh, [A] Mississippi, you're on my [D] mind

I think I smell [G] the honeysuckle [D] vine
With thick [Bm] sweetness like to make [A] you sick
[D] And the dogs, my God, [Am] [G] how they're hungry all [D] the time
And the snakes are sleeping [A] where the [D] weeds are thick
Oh, [G] Mississippi, you're on my mind [D] Mississippi, you're on my mind
[G]
Oh, [D] [F#m] Mississippi, [A] you're on [D] my mind
I think I feel [G] the angry [Bm] oven [D] heat
The southern sun [Bm] just blazing in [A] the sky
[D] And in the dusty weeds there [G] are old fat grasshopper [D] jumps
I want to make it to that creek before I cry
Oh, [G] Mississippi, you're on my mind [D] Mississippi, you're on my mind
[G]
Oh, [D] [A] Mississippi, you're on [D] my mind [G] Mississippi, you're on my mind
