[Verse 1]
G E7 Am G7
I'm growing tired of the big cities lights
D7 G
Tired of the glamour and tired of the sights
C G E7/G Am
In all my dreams, I am roaming once more
A7 D7
Back to my home, on the old river shore
[Verse 2]
G7 C Am
I am sad and weary, far away from home
G D G D7
Missing Mississippi and you, dear
G G7 C Am
Days are dark and dreary, everywhere I roam
G D7 G G7
Missing Mississippi and you
[Chorus 1]
C G
Rolling the wide world over
Em A7 D7
Always alone and blue, blue
G G7 C Am
Nothing seems to cheer me, under heaven's dôme
G D7 G
Missing Mississippi and you
{Break}

Missing Mississippi and you

Mockingbirds are singing, round the cabin door
G D G G7
Missing Mississippi and you
[Chorus 2]

Rolling the wide world over

Always alone and blue-ue, so blue

Longing for my homeland, muddy water shore

Missing Mississippi and you
