Well the (D)Mississippi flows through the (Bm)southland
In (G)many a (F#m)song and (E7)rhyme
And I (G)guess I’d do (G#°)well t’ (D)visit the (Bm)delta
(E7)Someday if I get the (A7)time.
But (D)in the land of sky blue (Bm)waters
She (G)loved me then she (F#m)turned me (E7)loose
With the (G)Other End (G#°)of the (D)Mississippi (A)River (D)Blues (D)
They got the (D)blues down in (Bm)Louisiana
they (G)sing them up in (F#m)Memphis (E7)town
where the (G)muddy water (G#°)flows
and (D)everybody (Bm)knows
its the (E7)cradle of that mournful (A7)sound
ah, but (D)somewhere up in Lake (Bm)Itasca
where the (G)mighty river (F#m)starts to (E7)move
I got the (G)Other End (G#°)of the (D)Mississippi (A)River (D)Blues (D)
They got the (A7)honeysuckle vines (A7)
I got the (D)lonesome pines (D)
they got (A7)banjos on the levee (A7)
I got a (D)heart that’s cold and heavy (F#7)
Yeah it (Bm)all ends up in New (E7)Orleans
But (G)this is where it (G#°)all beguines(A)
You can (D)travel the wide world (Bm)over
(G)anywhere you’d (F#m)care to (E7)roam
(G)But if you ever (G#°)go t’ (D)Northern Minne(Bm)sota
(E7)Better leave your heart at (A)home
‘cause she’ll (D)love then she’ll leave you (Bm)crying
and (G)brother you’ll be (F#m)intro(E7)duced
to the (G)Other End (G#°)of the (D)Mississippi (A)River (D)Blues (D)
instrumental break
They got (A7)Magnolia Trees,(A7)...... sweet (D)southern breeze (D)
I got (A)ice and snow, (A7).............. 26 (D)below, ohoh (F#7)
but (Bm)all ends up in New (E7)Orleans
But (G)this is where it (G#°)all beguines(A)
You can (D)travel the wide world (Bm)over
(G)anywhere you’d (F#m)care to (E7)roam
(G)But if you ever (G#°)go t’ (D)Northern Minne(Bm)sota
(E7)Better leave your heart at (A)home
‘cause she’ll (D)love then she’ll leave you (Bm)crying
with a (G)feeling that you (F#m)can’t shake (E7)loose
Its the (G)Other End (G#°)of the (D)Mississippi (A)River (D)Blues (D)
