Key: A
Introduction:
E7(13) A D9 Cº A
Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
D9 A7M C#m7(b5) F#7
And miss it each night and day
Bm7 Dm6 A9 C#m7(b5) F#7
I know I'm not wrong this feeling's gettin' stronger
Bm Bm7/E Dm6 E7
The longer, I stay away
E7(13) E7 A D9 Cº Bm7(b5) E6
Miss them moss covered vines, the tall sugar pines
D9 A7M C#m7(b5) F#7
Where mockin' birds used to sing
Bm7 Cº A9 C#m7(b5) F#7
And I'd like to see that lazy Mississippi
D9 E7(13) A
Hurryin' into spring
Bridge
E4 E7 Cº A6
The moonlight on the bayou
F#m E4 E7 Cº A6
A Creole tune that fills the air
Fº E7 Bm7(b5) A7M F#m
I dream about Magnolias in bloom
B7 Cº E7
And I'm wishin' I was there
E7(13) E7 A D9 Cº Bm7(b5) A6
Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
D9 A7M C#m7(b5) F#7
When that's where you left your heart
Bm7 Cº A9 C#m7(b5) F#7
And there's something more, I miss the one I care for
D9 Dm6 E7 A
More than I miss New Orleans
