As recorded by Eric Church (From the 2022 Album SOMETHING BORROWED, SOMETHING NEW: A TRIBUTE TO JOHN ANDERSON) [Intro] C D C [Verse 1]
C
It's a late night show on the radio

C
Goin' down the road with the Wolfman

F              C
Lightnin' bugs all around, moonlight shinin' down

F    C                                       F
On a little sleepy town down in the flatland
[Verse 2]
Eb F                  C
I can still hear Mama callin'

Eb F                       C
"Son, it's time to come on in"

Eb F                           C      Am
And when that darkness started fallin'

          Bb                            F
Everybody gathered round the table, amen
[Chorus]
C
Mississippi moon hangin' in the haze

               F    C
Wish I'd never left ya

C
Spent enough time in this old rat race

                         F C   F
I'm goin' on back to the delta
[Verse 3]
C                                  F C
Yeah, barbecues and back porch news

                                                F
And the guitar blues, yeah, about around sundown

C                                        F
Mockingbird melodies, watermelon memories

C                                     F C
Yеah, cruisin' those streets downtown
[Verse 4]
F                        C
Hot summer nights on the lеvy

F                           C
She spread a blanket on the ground

F                             C          Am
There ain't no feelin' like a first time

     Bb                            F
When innocence is lost and love is found

F
Here we go
[Chorus]
C
Mississippi moon hangin' in the haze

               F    C
Wish I'd never left ya

C
Spent enough time in this old rat race

I'm goin' on back to the delta
[Bridge]
F            C             Dm
I'm tired of searchin' for answers

Am         C             Dm
Always out there on the run

F   C                      Dm
I'm goin' back to where my heart is

         C
Highway 61, yeah
[Chorus]
C
Mississippi moon hangin' in the haze

                 F     C
Almost reach and touch you

C
Been so long and I missed your face

                         F C
I'm goin' on back to the delta

C
Yeah, Mississippi moon hangin' in the haze

               F    C
Wish I'd never left you

Spent enough time in that old rat race

I'm goin' on back to the delta

Mississippi moon hangin' in the haze

I'm goin' on back, goin' on through the delta

C
Oh, Mississippi moon, yeah

Goin' on back to the delta, yeah

     F C
Ooh
