Verse 1:
 D MajorD             A augmentedA
Chasin' the lights down the road
 G+G          D MajorD
All the way to Louisiana
      B minorBm
He's gone six hundred miles
   B minorBm        D MajorD     A augmentedA
But there's still a thousand to go
G+G           D MajorD
The moon's on the horizon
 B minorBm     A augmentedA       G+G
Pullin' his heart like the tide
   G+G    A augmentedA       D MajorD    G+G
He's found a queen down in old New Orleans
     G+G      A augmentedA     D MajorD
And the distance is drivin' him blind

Interlude:
D MajorD   A augmentedA   G+G

Verse 2:
      D MajorD          A augmentedA
There's a Thunderbird under the hood
      G+G             D MajorD
And he'll push her as fast as she'll take him
     B minorBm
As the radio plays in the dark
   D MajorD     A augmentedA
He'd fly if he could
 G+G           D MajorD
The road's narrow and winding
     B minorBm    A augmentedA  G+G
But his heart is open wide
   G+G    A augmentedA       D MajorD    G+G
He's found a queen down in old New Orleans
     G+G      A augmentedA     D MajorD
And he can't get her out of his mind

Interlude:
D MajorD   A augmentedA   G+G   x2

Verse 3:
   D MajorD            A augmentedA
The sun it sneaks up from behind
   G+G          D MajorD
And pushes from across Alabama
   B minorBm
The windows are down
     B minorBm      D MajorD     A augmentedA
And he's feelin' the temperature climb
G+G          D MajorD
He's almost to the Delta
B minorBm    A augmentedA      G+G
And he's traveled so far
   G+G    A augmentedA       D MajorD    G+G
He's found a queen down in old New Orleans
   G+G       A augmentedA      D MajorD
And soon she'll be back in his arms
   G+G    A augmentedA       D MajorD    G+G
He's found a queen down in old New Orleans
   G+G       A augmentedA      D MajorD
And soon she'll be back in his arms
