Cindy Of New Orleans chords by Waylon Jennings

Chords with lyrics

(Intro)
 G+G C majorC


(Verse 1)
C majorC              G+G
Down by the river where the big boats go by.
                C majorC
Each day you could see them as evening was nigh.
                 G+G
They planned to be married at the first sign

of spring.
                  C majorC
And Jim would take Cindy to see New Orleans.

(Verse 2)
                  G+G
The town folks would smile as they sat there alone.
                C majorC
Jim talked of the day he'd make Cindy his own.
           G+G
He saved his money to buy her a ring and take his
            C majorC
sweet Cindy to see New Orleans.


(Interlude)
 G+G C majorC


(Verse 3)
  D MajorD        A augmentedA
One day a riverboat gambler chanced by and captured
          D MajorD
her heart with his sweet words and lies.
                A augmentedA
He told her, come with me, and you'll be a queen.
                 D MajorD
So, they left together to see New Orleans.


(Verse 4)
                A augmentedA
Each day you can see Jim though years have gone by.
              D MajorD
Down by the river where the big boats go by.
                  A augmentedA
She wrote she'd return at the first sign of spring.
                 D MajorD
He's waiting for Cindy to see New Orleans.
