E5

          E5      A5            E5
I think I see, a wagon rutted road
                                        B5      E5
With the weeds growing tall between the tracks
                           A5                 E5
And along one side, runs a rusty barbed wire fence
                        B5             E5
And beyond that sits an old tar paper shack

     A5
Mississippi you're on my mind
     E5
Mississippi you're on my mind
A5 E5      A5                   E5
Oh, Mississippi you're on my mind

          E5       A5              E5
I think I hear, a noisy old John Deere
                                     B5    E5
In a field specked with dirty cotton lint
                            A5            E5
And below the field, runs a little shady creek
                          B5                    E5
And there you'll find the cool green leaves of mint

     A5
Mississippi you're on my mind
     E5
Mississippi you're on my mind
A5 E5      A5                   E5
Oh, Mississippi you're on my mind

          E5          A5           E5
I think I smell, the honeysuckle vine
                                    B5    E5
The heavy sweetness like to make me sick
                              A5              E5
And the dogs, my God, they're hungry all the time
                            B5                   E5
And the snakes are sleeping where the weeds are thick

     A5
Mississippi you're on my mind
     E5
Mississippi you're on my mind
A5 E5      A5                   E5
Oh, Mississippi you're on my mind

          E5        A5          E5
I think I feel, an angry oven heat
                                    B5   E5
The southern sun just blazes in the sky
                          A5               E5                  
In the dusty weeds an old fat grasshopper jumps
                          B5              E5
I want to make it to that creek before I fry

     A5
Mississippi you're on my mind
     E5
Mississippi you're on my mind
A5 E5      A5                   E5
Oh, Mississippi you're on my mind

     A5
Mississippi you're on my mind
     E5
Mississippi you're on my mind
A5 E5      A5                   E5
Oh, Mississippi you're on my mind
