The best known version of this song was performed by Pussycat
however I had the Barbara Fairchild version chorded out so in
the interests of saving time here is a copy of her version.
There are a few minor differences in the words but otherwise
both versions are identical.
Mississippi

Key B
Intro: E - E - B - B - E - E - F#7 - F#7
Where [B]You Can Hear A Country Song For Far
When Someone Plays A Honky Tonk Gui-[F#7]tar
Where All The Lights Will Go Out One By [B]One
Where People Join The [C#7]Sun And The Wind Takes It A-[F#7]way
Where The [B]Mississipp Rolls Down To The Sea
And Lovers Find A Place They Like To [F#7]Be
How Many Times Before The Song Was [B]Ending
Love And Under-[F#7]standing --- Everywhere A-[B]round

[F#7] [B]
Mi--issis--sippi --- I'll Remember You
Whenever I Shall Go Away [F#7]I'll Be Longing For The Day

[B]M--issis--[F#7]sippi You'll Be On My [B]Mind[E]
Everytime I Hear This [B]Song -- Mississippi Roll A-[F#7]long
Until The End Of [B]Time[E][E][B][F#7]
Now The [B]Country Song Forever Lost It's Soul

And Every Time The Summer Nights Are [B]Falling
I Always Will Be [F#7]Calling -- Dreams Of Yester-[B]day
Repeat Chorus:
