Mississippi You're On My Mind
(Jesse Winchester)

Capo I

Intro:
  D         D
| + + + + | + + + + |

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

Chorus:
      G
Mississippi you're on my mind
      D                        G  D
Mississippi you're on my mind, oh-oh
      A                  D
Mississippi you're on my mind

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

	Repeat Chorus

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

	Repeat Chorus

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

	Repeat Chorus (x2)
