[Verse 1]
D           B7           Em         D7
I'm growing tired of the big cities lights.
             A7          D
Tired of the glamour and tired of the sights.
G         D       D7   B7           Em
In all my dreams, I am roaming once more.
E7                      A7
Back to my home, on the old river shore.

[Verse 2]
D7                  G             Gm
I am sad and weary, far away from home.
D            A7              A7
Missing Mississippi and you, dear.
D                 D7      G            Gm
Days are dark and dreary, everywhere I roam.
D            A7         D    D7
Missing Mississippi and you.

[Chorus 1]
G                      D
Rolling the wide world over.
Bm      E7       A7
Always alone and blue, blue.
D                D7        G              Gm
Nothing seems to cheer me, under heaven's dôme.
D            A7         D
Missing Mississippi and you.

{Interlude}

Memories are bringing, happy days of yore.
D            A7         D    A7
Missing Mississippi and you.
D                D7       G               Gm
Mockingbirds are singing, round the cabin door.
D            A7         D    D7
Missing Mississippi and you.

[Chorus 2]
G                      D
Rolling the wide world over.
Bm      E7            A7
Always alone and blue-ue, so blue
D              D7        G           Gm
Longing for my homeland, muddy water shore.
D            A7         D    D7
Missing Mississippi and you.

Mississippi and you.
