Charley Pride – Roll On Mississippi (Ukulele)

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

                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

      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
