  E7E7       B7B7     E MajorE
Ma cheri, she has left me for good
  E7E7      B7B7      E MajorE
After I gave my love for so long
   B7B7
She's out there with somebody new
              E MajorE
And I just can't sit here alone, no

      E7E7
But it's so hard to drive with these tears in my eyes
        A augmentedA                A#dim7A#dim7 -- C#dim7C#dim7
And it takes a long time to get to Baton Rouge
     E MajorE     B7B7    E MajorE      A augmentedA
And all I want is to hear somebody play my song
    Ddim7Ddim7    B7B7     E MajorE
When a Cajun man  gets the blues

     B7B7            E MajorE
When I'm feeling the weight of the water
    B7B7               E MajorE
Lord I know that there's blues in the Quarter
     E7E7       B7B7     A augmentedA
If I could hold back my tears and make it there, I'd be alright
     B7B7
But I might need ya, New Orleans, every night

    E MajorE       B7B7   E MajorE
I don't know where I'd be without you
       E7E7       B7B7     E MajorE
Yeah, you've been there for me all the while
   B7B7
From Lafayette, to Thibodaux, to Lake Charles
                      E MajorE
From Natchitoches, to Shreveport, to Grand Isle

     E7E7
When I'm feeling the pain, the bayou's callin' my name
       A augmentedA            A#dim7A#dim7 -- C#dim7C#dim7
And that's an offer that I can't refuse
    E MajorE    B7B7    E MajorE   A augmentedA
Oh,it's hard to miss you, Louisiana
    Ddim7Ddim7  B7B7     E MajorE
When a Cajun man gets the blues
    E7E7    B7B7   E MajorE    A augmentedA
Yes it's hard to miss you, Louisiana
    Ddim7Ddim7   B7B7     E MajorE
