Standard (EADGBE)
Where you can hear a country song from far
and someone plays the honky-tonk guitar
Where all the lights will go out one by one
the people join the sun
and the wind takes it away
Where the Mississippi rolls down to the sea
and lovers found the place they'd like to be
how many times before the song was ending
love and understanding
everywhere around
Miii....iiii ... ssissippi,
I'll remember you, whenever I should go away
I'll be longing for the day
that I will be in dream again ...
Miii....iiii ... ssissippi,
you'll be on my mind
... everytime I hear this song
Mississippi roll along
until the end of time
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
