[Opening]
[Bb]Where you can hear a country song from far
And someone plays the honky-tonk gui[F]tar
Where all the lights will go out one by [Bb]one
The people join the [C]sun
And the [C7]wind takes it a[F]way
[verse 2]
Where the [Bb]Mississippi rolls down to the sea
And lovers found the place they’d like to [F]be
How many times before the song was [Bb]ending
Love and under[F]standing, everywhere a[Bb]round
[chorus]
[Bb]Missi[F]ssippi, I’ll remember [Bb]you
Whenever I should go away, [F]I’ll be longing for the day
That [C]I will be in dream a[F]gain [Eb] [Dm] [F]
[chorus]

[Eb]Every time I hear this [Bb]song
Mississippi roll a[F]long until the end of [Bb]time [Eb] [Bb] [F]
[verse 3]
Now the [Bb]country song for ever lost its soul
When the guitar player turned to rock & [F]roll
And every time when summer nights are [Bb]falling
I will always be [F]calling dreams of yester[Bb]day
[chorus]
[Bb]Missi[F]ssippi, I’ll remember [Bb]you
Whenever I should go away [F]I’ll be longing for the day
That [C]I will be in dream a[F]gain [Eb] [Dm] [F]
[chorus]
[Bb]Missi[F]ssippi, you’ll be on my [Bb]mind
