[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
                         F C
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
C
Spent enough time in that old rat race
                         F C
I'm goin' on back to the delta
 
 
[Outro]
F     C
Yeah, Mississippi moon, oh
            F
Yeah, yeah, Mississippi moon, yeah
C
Mississippi moon hangin' in the haze
             F     C                          F C
I'm goin' on back, goin' on through the delta
C
Oh, Mississippi moon, yeah
F        C                  F C
Goin' on back to the delta, yeah
     F C
Ooh
