E9
F6/7 E7+
Am9 Esus4 Fsus4 Am(add9) Fsus4 Esus4 Fsus4 Esus4 Am(add9) Fmaj9 B E Dm7
Standing on the corner of Toulouse and Dauphine
E7+ Am9
Waitin' on Marie Ondine
Fmaj7 B
I'm tryin' to place a tune under a Louisiana moonbeam
F6/7 E7+ Am
On the planet of New Orleans
Am(add9) Fmaj9 B E Dm7
In a bar they call The Saturn and in her eyes of green
E7+ Am9
And somethin' that she said in a dream
Fmaj7 B
Inside of my suit I got my mojo root and a true love figurine
F6/7 E7+ Am
For the planet of New Orleans
[Refrão]
Am9 E7 Am
New Orleans with other life upon it and everything that's shakin' in between
Am9 E7
If you should ever land upon it, you better know what's on it
F6/7 E7+ Am9
[Próxima Parte]
The planet of New Orleans, yeah
Am(add9) Fmaj9 B E Dm7
Now I'm tryin' to find my way through the rain and the steam
E7+ Am9
I'm lookin' straight ahead through the screen
Fmaj7 B
And then I heard her say somethin' in the limousine
F6/7
'Bout takin' a ride
E7+ Am
Across the planet of New Orleans
Fmaj9 B E7 Dm7 E Am9 E7 Am9 Fmaj7 B E7 Dm7 E Am9 Fmaj9 B E7 Dm7 E Am9 E7 Am9 Fmaj7 B E7 Dm7 E Am9 Esus4 Fsus4 Am(add9) Fsus4 Esus4 Fsus4 Esus4 Am(add9) Fmaj9 B E Dm7
If she was an ace and I was just a jack and the cards were never seen
E7+ Am9
We could have been the king and the queen
Fmaj7 B
But she took me on back to her courtyard where magnolia perfume screams
F6/7
Behind the gates and the granite
E7+ Am
Of the planet of New Orleans
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
The planet of New Orleans
E7 Am E7
With other life upon it and everything that's shakin' in between
Am9 E7
If you should ever land upon it, you better know what's on it
Dm7 E Am Fmaj7 B E7
The planet of New Orleans
Dm7 E Am Fmaj7 Bb E7 Dm7 E
The planet of New Orleans
Am Fmaj7 Bb E7 Dm7 E Am Fmaj7 Bb E7 Dm7 E Am Fmaj7 Bb E7 Dm7 E Am Fmaj7 Bb E7 Dm7 E Am Fmaj7 Bb E7 Dm7 E Am
