G                   Em 
They call her Mississippi 
 E                    G 
But she don't flow to me 
 G                      Em 
Spends her light on the Bayou 
 Em                    G	 
But she don't come to see 
 C                          G	 
She's the one that makes my dreams 
 G                  E	 
They call her Mississippi 
Em                    G 
But she don't flow to me  
 
G                   Em  
The shape of her horizon 
Em                 G 
Makes the morning sun 
G                      Em 
When she puts her eyes on 
 Em         G 
Each and anyone 
 C                          G 
She's the one that makes me fall 
 C                              G 
Midnight moon shines through it all  
 
C                           G 
She's the one that makes me fall 
C                               G 
Midnight moon shines through it all 
C                            G 
She's the one that makes my dreams 
G                   Em
They call her Mississippi 
Em                     G 
But she don't flow to me 
G                   Em 
They call her Mississippi 
Em                     G 
But she don't flow to me
