Lighting up the Mighty Mississippi Cheryl Wheeler
CAPO: 3rd Fret
INTRO: C G F C G
Big yellow [C]moon, dark blue [G]sky
[F]Lighting up the [G]mighty [F]Missis[G]sippi
I'm headed [C]home, I can't de[G]cide
If my [F]heart is just too [G]full or [F]just too [G]empty
Through the [F]thousands of [C]miles of the rivers and [G]hills
And the [F]highways I've [C]come to know so [G]well[F]
I always [C]knew I could fall back on [G]you
Now it [C]wouldn't matter [F]which way I fe[G]ll
Still, it's nice to keep [C]moving, down the dotted [G]line
Past the [F]tractors in their [G]amber [F]waves of [G]grain
If I keep my eyes [C]open, take a little [G]time
[Dm]No two towns will [F]ever look the same[G]
And [F]sometimes on the [Em]AM radi[G]o
I [F]get a little [Em]local Polka [G]show
And [F]folks are friendly [C]everywhere I [G]go
INSTRUMENTAL: C Em G F C G
[C]Drank too much in Dayton, [F]paid the whole next day
The [C]snow in South Dakota was so [Em]dry it blew away[G]
And it's not [C]like someone's waiting when I [F]get home anyway
So, I leave for Portland [C]pretty soon, then [G]down through Monterey
But right [C]now this big old [G]yellow moon is [F]filling up the sk[Dm]y
And lighting up the [F]mighty Missis[G]sippi
