Roll On Mississippi Ukulele Chords

C                              F                   C
Walking along whistling a song bare foot and fancy free
                                    F              C
A big riverboat passing us by she’s headed for New Orleans
          G7                           C
There she goes disappearing around the bend
           G7                                     C
Roll on Mississippi you make me feel like a child again

       
A cool river breeze like peppermint leaves
                F        C
The taste of it takes me back  chewing on a straw torn overalls
                F         C         G7                          C
I can’t hold an old straw hat muddy river just like a long lost friend
           G7                                     C
Roll on Mississippi you make me feel like a child again

F       C           F         C
Roll on Mississippi big river roll
           D7                            G7
You’re the childhood dream that I grew upon
        F                    C   F
Roll on Mississippi carry me h-ome
                                 G7
Now I can see I’ve been away too long
     C               G7   C
Roll on Mississippi  roll on


Now when the world's spinning round too fast for me
      F               C
And I need a place to dream  so I come to your banks
                    F              C        G7                     C
I sit in your shade relive the memories Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn
           G7                                      C
Roll on Mississippi  you make me feel like a child again
