Mississippi You're On My Mind
(Jesse Winchester)
Capo I
Intro:
D D
| + + + + | + + + + |
D G D
I think I see, a wagon rutted road
D A
With the weeds growing tall between the tracks
D G D
And along one side, runs a rusty barbed wire fence
D A D
And beyond that sits an old tar paper shack
Chorus:
G
Mississippi you're on my mind
D G D
Mississippi you're on my mind, oh-oh
A D
Mississippi you're on my mind
D G D
I think I hear, a noisy old John Deere
D A
In a field specked with dirty cotton lint
D G D
And below the field, runs a little shady creek
D A D
And there you'll find the cool green leaves of mint
Repeat Chorus
D G D
I think I smell, the honeysuckle vine
D A
The heavy sweetness like to make me sick
D G D
And the dogs my God, they're hungry all the time
D A D
And the snakes are sleeping where the weeds are thick
Repeat Chorus
D G D
I think I feel, an angry oven heat
D A
The southern sun just blazes in the sky
D G D
In the dusty weeds, an old fat grasshopper jumps
D A D
I want to make it to that creek before I fry
Repeat Chorus (x2)
