  Here's another gem by Jesse Winchester.

  Accompaniment is simple both in structure and

  especially in style. This is a vocalist song as

  the accompaniment is subdued. At the beginning of

  the song, the D chord used a hammer-on pattern

  where you hammer on the second fret A string. I

  play this song finger picked. Tempo is relatively

  slow so that you and your audience can relish the

  rich lyrics.  Hope you have fun with it.

  Mississippi, You're on My Mind

  

  Words and Music by Jesse Winchester

  

  Key of D 

  Tempo--4/4

  

  [D] I think I see [D7] a [G] wagon rutted [D] road

  

  [D] with the weeds growing tall between the 

  

  [A7] tracks, [D] and along one side [D7] runs a 

  

  [G]rusty barbed wire [D] fence and beyond there 

  

  sits an [A7] old tar paper [D]shack.

  

  [CHORUS]

  

  [G] Mississippi, you're on my mind, 

  

  Missis-[D]-sippi, you're on my mind, 

  

  [G7-barred 3rd fret] woh, [D] woh 

  

  Missis-[A7]-sippi you're on my [D]mind.

  

  

  I think I hear a noisy old John Deere in a field

  specked with dirty cotton lint, and below the

  field runs a little shady creek, and there you'll

  find the cool green leaves of mint.

  

  {CHORUS}

  

  I think I smell the honeysuckle vine, the heavy

  sweetness like to make me sick. And the dogs, my

  God, they're hungry all the time and the snakes

  are sleeping where the weeds are thick.

  

  [CHORUS]

  

  I think I feel an angry oven heat, the southern

  sun just blazes in the sky. And in the dusty

  weeds, an old fat grasshopper jumps. I wanna make

  it to that creek before I fry.

  

  [CHORUS--Repeat two times]
