Roll on Mississippi Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][A][Bm][G][D]

[Verse 1]
Walkin' [A]along,
[D]whistlin' a s[A]ong[Bm]
Barefoot and [G]fancy [D]free
A big [A]ri verboat, passing us by
She's headed for [G]New [D]Orleans
There [A]she goes
Disappearing around [D]the bend
Roll on Mis[A]sissippi
You make me feel like [D]a child again

[Verse 2]
[D]
Cool river breeze,
[A]like peppermint lea[Bm]ves
The taste of it [G]takes me [D]back
Chewin' on [A]a straw, torn overall[Bm]s
Cane pole and [G]old straw [D]hat, muddy [A]river
Just like a [D]long lost friend
Roll on [Bm]Mis [A]sissippi
You make me feel like [D]a child again
Roll [G]on Mis

[Verse 3]
[D]sissippi [G](roll on
Mississippi)
Big river [D]roll[G][D]
You're [Bm]the childhood dream
[F#m]I grew up on[Em][A]
Roll on [G]Mis[A]sissippi
(roll on Mississippi)
Carry me [Bm]home
Now [G]I can see I've b[Em]een
[Bm]away too [A]long
Roll [D]on (roll on), [G]Mississippi,
roll [D]on
[G]

[Verse 4]
[D]
When the world's spinning [A]round,
too fast [Bm]for me
I need a [G]place to [D]dream
So I come to your bank[A]s,
I sit in [Bm]your shade
And relive [G]the memor[D]ies
Tom [A]Sawyer and Huckleberry [D]Finn
Roll on Missis[A]sippi
You make me feel like a [D]child again
Roll [G]on Mis

[Verse 5]
[D]sissippi[G]
(roll on Mississippi)
Big river [D]roll
You're the [Bm]childhood dream
[F#m]I grew up on[Em][A]
Roll on [G]Mis[A]sissippi
(roll on Mississippi)
Carry me [Bm]home
Now [G]I can see I've b[Em]een a[Bm]way too l[A]ong
Roll [D]on, Missis[G]sippi, roll [D]on,[G]
Mississippi [D](roll on Mississippi), roll
on (roll [G]on)
[D]Roll on, [G]Mis[D]sissippi,[G]
[D]rol[G]l o[D]n
Roll on, Missis[G]sippi
[D]
