Intro:
D     A      G         x2

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

Interlude:
D     A      G

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

Interlude:
D     A      G      x2

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