[Refrain]
C           C7           Dm       F
I'm growing tired of the big city lights
F/G          G        B7           C
Tired of the glamour, tired of the sites
C          E7          Dm
I'm always dreaming of roaming once more
D7                     G         G7
Back to my home on the old river shore

[Verse 1]

C                 C7/G   Dm          Fm6
Days are dark and dreary everwhere I roam
      C             G          C    G7
How I long for Mississippi and you
C                C7/G     Dm             Fm6
Nothing seems to cheer me under heaven's dome
      C             G7         C     C7
How I miss the Mississippi and you

[Chorus 1]
F                      C
Roaming the wide world over
Am               G        G7
Always alone and blue, so blue
C            C7/G    Dm           Fm6
I am sad and weary, longing to go home
       C              G7        C
Yes, I miss the Mississippi and you

[Verse 2]
C                 C7/G   Dm          Fm6
Mockingbirds are singing 'round the cabin door
        C             G          C    G7
While I dream of Mississippi and you
       C            C7/G     Dm            Fm6
And my memories are bringing happy days of yore
       C             G7          C    C7
I have spent in Mississippi with you

[Chorus 2]
F                      C
Roaming the wide world over
Am               G        G7
Always alone and blue, so blue
C              C7/G             Dm          Fm6
Longing for my homeland on that muddy watershore
       C             G7          C
Yes, I miss the Mississippi and you
          G7        C
The Mississippi and you
