Verse:
C                                               F       C
I've heard all about the tune that's called the Alabama moon
        F           Fm              C
But the Mississippi moon is just as bright
C
And I can't forget the time
     F                 C
When I asked you to be mine
        D                D7            G
For the moon was shining on that happy night

Refrain I:
        F           G        C               Am
And you promised me then you would wed me in June
       D              D7          G
That's why I love the Mississippi moon

       C           F               C    C/B  Am
Oh the Mississippi moon is smiling down to - night
    F                  Fm       C
And love just seems to fill the air
    F                 Fm       C              Am
The whippoorwills are flitting in it's mellow light
    D             D7     G
And calling to be lovers there

Refrain II:
       G7                        C              Am
Let us stroll once again down to dear ol lovers lane
      F               Fm     C
Where nature seems to softly croon
       F                 Fm             C            Am
Oh our hearts will be so light while we wander there tonight
F               G           C
Underneath that Mississippi moon

C   F   C  G  C

Verse:
C                                     F             C
Many years have come and gone since I met you there alone
      F                  Fm              C
But tonight I'm thinking just as much of you
C
As I did when hand and hand
            F             C
We wandered in that magic land
         D                  D7              G
Where we gave our pledge to love each other true

Refrain I:
         F            G            C       Am
Come and go back with me,  To that spot in memory
        D              D7          G
Just to see again that Mississippi moon
B       C           F               C    C/D  Am
Oh the Mississippi moon is smiling down to - night
    F                  Fm       C
And love just seems to fill the air
    F                 Fm       C              Am
The whippoorwills are flitting in it's mellow light
    D             D7     G
And calling to be lovers there

Refrain II:
       G7                        C              Am
Let us stroll once again down to dear ol lovers lane
      F               Fm     C
Where nature seems to softly croon
       F                 Fm             C            Am
Oh our hearts will be so light while we wander there tonight
F               G           C
Underneath that Mississippi moon
