[Verse 1]
 
F#°                           D* A*
I bought the Mississippi River
N.C.                             Bm           A       F#*
Of course that don't include the towns or the people around the Mississippi
         B5
Well, to cinch the deal
    B5
The man threw in
  G5
A boat with crew
    G5
And then I knew
    A5
I'd better grab
     A5
That river fast
   B5           B5
It wouldn't last
     B5    B5
They never do
     E5    E5
They never do

It wouldn't last, last, last
 
[Verse 2]
 
F#°                         D* A*
So now I own the Mississippi
N.C.                          Bm          A          F#*
I couldn't decide if I should leave it in there o-or lug it out West with me
             B5
Oh well, the best thing was
   B5
To think about it
G5            G5           A5
Not to make a move I might regret
                A5
'Cause then I'd have to have the
B5    B5    B5        B5
Mississippi sent back East, complete
     E5           E5
With boat and crew
 
             F#

That wouldn't do, do, do

[Verse 3]
 
F#°                           D* A*
Do rivers ever need companions
N.C.                    Bm        A         F#*
Should I inquire if the Seine is available, yeah, I would rather have
  B5            B5
A classy little Frenchy
G5
Than a Nile or
  G5
A Tybo, oh
    A5
Now wait a minute
     A5       B5    B5
How about the Amazon
    B5         B5
Now that could be
E5   E5
Real fun
    F#5
For Mississippi (it's yours, all yours)
    F#5
For Mississippi (it's yours, all yours)
   F#5
My Mississippi (it's yours, all yours)
     F#5
It's mine, all mine
