[Verse]
C           C7           F
I'm growing tired of the big city lights
F            Fm       D7           G
Tired of the glamour, tired of the nights
    C          E7          Am
And I'm always dreaming of roaming once more
D7                     G
Back to my home on the Lake Michigan shore

[Verse 1]
C                 C7     F            Fm
Days are dark and dreary everywhere I roam
  C              G          C    G7
I miss the  Mississippi and you
C                C7       F              Fm
Nothing seems to cheer me under heaven's dome
  C             G          C     C7
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     F             Fm
I am sad and weary, longing to go home
   C              G        C
I miss the Mississippi and you

[Verse 2]
C                C7       F               Fm
Mockingbirds are singing 'round the cabin door
  C             G          C   G
I dream of Mississippi and you
C              C7                F           Fm
Longing for my homeland, on that muddy water shore
   C              G7        C  C7
I miss the Mississippi and you


[Chorus 2]
    F                      C
I'm roaming the wide world over
Am               G        G7
Always alone and blue, so blue
C            C7    F             Fm
I am sad and weary longing to go home
  C             G          C
I miss the Mississippi and you
          C     G   C
The Mississippi and you
