B
Where you can hear a country song from far
F
and someone plays the honky-tonk guitar
B
Where all the lights will go out one by one
C
the people join the sun
C7 F
and the wind takes it away
B
Where the Mississippi rolls down to the sea
F
and lovers found the place they'd like to be
B
how many times before the song was ending
F
love and understanding
B
everywhere around
B F
Miii....iiii ... ssissippi,
B
I'll remember you, whenever I should go away
F
I'll be longing for the day
C F D# Dm C
that I will be in dream again ...
B F
Miii....iiii ... ssissippi,
B
you'll be on my mind
D# B
... everytime I hear this song
F
Mississippi roll along
B
until the end of time
D# B F
B
Now the country song for ever lost its soul
when the guitar player turned to rock & roll
and everytime when summernights are falling
I will always be calling dreams of yesterday
