Verse:
C majorC                        FF    C majorC
I've heard all about the tune that's called the Alabama moon
    FF      F minorFm       C majorC
But the Mississippi moon is just as bright
C majorC
And I can't forget the time
   FF         C majorC
When I asked you to be mine
    D MajorD        D7D7      G+G
For the moon was shining on that happy night

Refrain I:
    FF      G+G    C majorC        A minorAm
And you promised me then you would wed me in June
    D MajorD       D7D7     G+G
That's why I love the Mississippi moon

    C majorC      FF        C majorC  C/BC/B A minorAm
Oh the Mississippi moon is smiling down to - night
  FF         F minorFm    C majorC
And love just seems to fill the air
  FF         F minorFm    C majorC       A minorAm
The whippoorwills are flitting in it's mellow light
  D MajorD       D7D7   G+G
And calling to be lovers there

Refrain II:
    G7G7            C majorC       A minorAm
Let us stroll once again down to dear ol lovers lane
   FF        F minorFm   C majorC
Where nature seems to softly croon
    FF         F minorFm       C majorC      A minorAm
Oh our hearts will be so light while we wander there tonight
FF        G+G      C majorC
Underneath that Mississippi moon

C majorC  FF  C majorC G+G C majorC

Many years have come and gone since I met you there alone

But tonight I'm thinking just as much of you

As I did when hand and hand
      FF       C majorC
We wandered in that magic land

Where we gave our pledge to love each other true

And calling to be lovers there
