[Verse]
C Am F D7
I'm growing tired of the big city lights
G7 C
Tired of the glamour and tired of the sights
F Am Dm
In all my dreams I am roaming once more
D7 G7
Back to my home on the old river shore
[Verse]
C C7 F Fm
I am sad and weary far away from home
C G7 C G7
Miss the Mississippi and you dear
C C7 F Fm
Days are dark and dreary everywhere I roam
C G7 C C7
Miss the Mississippi and you
[Chorus]
F C
Roaming the wide world over
Am D7 G G7
Always alone and blue, so blue
C C7 F Fm
Nothing seems to cheer me under heaven's dome
C G7 C C7
Miss the Mississippi and you
[Verse]
C C7 F Fm
Memories are bringing happy days of yore
C G7 C C7
Miss the Mississippi and you
C C7 F Fm
Mocking birds are singing 'round the cabin door
C G7 C C7
Miss the Mississippi and you
[Chorus]
F C
Roaming the wide world over
Am D7 G G7
Always alone and blue, blue
C C7 F Fm
Longing form my homeland, muddy water shore
C G7 C C7
Miss the Mississippi and you
[Outro]
G7 C
Mississippi and you
