[Verse]
 
C           A7           Dm       D7
I'm growing tired of the big city lights
G            G7          F           C
Tired of the glamour and tired of the sights
F                      A7          Dm
In all my dreams I am roaming once more
D7                     G         G7
Back to my home on the old river shore
 
 
[Verse]
 
C            C7    F             Fm
I am sad and weary far away from home
C             G7         C     G7
Miss the Mississippi and you dear
C                 C7     F            Fm
Days are dark and dreary everywhere I roam
C              G7     C    C7
Miss the Mississippi and you
 
 
[Chorus]
 
F                      C
Roaming the wide world over
Am     D7        G        G7
Always alone and blue, so blue
C                C7       F              Fm
Nothing seems to cheer me under heaven's dome
C             G7      C    C7
Miss the Mississippi and you
 
 
[Verse]
 
C            C7       F             Fm
Memories are bringing happy days of yore
C             G7      C    C7
Miss the Mississippi and you
C                 C7       F               Fm
Mocking birds are singing 'round the cabin door
C             G7      C    C7
Miss the Mississippi and you
 
 
[Chorus]
 
F                      C
Roaming the wide world over
Am     D7        G       G7
Always alone and blue,  blue
C               C7        F           Fm
Longing form my homeland, muddy water shore
C             G7      C    C7
Miss the Mississippi and you
 
 
[Outro]
 
            G7  C
Mississippi and you

The F chord in the second line of the opening verse should be a B7. Other than that, pretty much all good. I disagree with the other comment. G7 is correct to end the second line of the second verse. Same with the third verse, which is currently marked as C7 and should be G7.

The second verse second line should end in C7 not G7. If you use the D7 as in the first verse then its ok but with the C the C7th sounds much better. Otherwise great job.
