G Em G

Verse:
                      D         G         D           C
Well the skeeter some days will carry you away in the summertime
    D                                                     G
The weeds grow tall and the crickets and the frogs sing a lullaby
               D          G                      C
The whole town sleeps all day in the heat of the summer sun
       D          C        D               G Em G
So you sit on the bank and watch the river run

Chorus:
   Em G     Am    D          G
Ooooh Mississippi roll on forever
   Em G     Am    C               D             G Em D
Ooooh Mississippi take me all the way to New Orleans

Interlude:
G Em D

Verse:
         G           D            G                   C
Well the willow tree sways in the heat all day by the riverside
         D                                             G
When the sun gets high Lord it gets so quite you could lose your mind
D      G                                           C
So you drink ice tea on the porch and you dream of far-a-way
D                                        G Em G
I'm gonna leave this one horse town some day

Chorus:
   Em G     Am    D          G
Ooooh Mississippi roll on forever
   Em G     Am    C               D             G Em G
Ooooh Mississippi take me all the way to New Orleans

   Em G     Am    D          G
Ooooh Mississippi roll on forever
   Em G     Am    C               D             G Em G
Ooooh Mississippi take me all the way to New Orleans
