Key: C majorC

Difficulty: Novice

Intro:
 C majorC                 E7E7
The shallow water shimmers in the street light
 A minorAm               C majorC
The neon signs can't escape the eye
 C majorC      E7E7        A minorAm
The smell of fish and spice, a smell of which can mix so nice
 FF      G+G         C majorC
So take me back here before I die
 FF          C majorC    FF       C majorC
And the greatest infection, is that of affection
 FF       C majorC        G7G7
And I wouldn't have it any other way
        C majorC E7E7 A minorAm FF C majorC G+G C majorC
But what can I say

Verse 1:
 C majorC   E7E7             A minorAm
Circumstance had brought her to the city
     FF       C majorC      G+G
She was left behind to try and find a cheap hotel to sleep at night
 C majorC        E7E7          A minorAm
Well hard times fell and she took to strippin'
    FF               G+G
Just a 19 year old girl in the grasps of middle aged married men
 FF           C majorC      FF          C majorC
And the Bourbon Street bullhorn boys bellowed boasts of beautiful girls
 FF           C majorC        G+G G7G7
Who dance behind black curtains in the night
 FF        C majorC      FF        C majorC
And oh, how that stigma follows, just another slut on drugs
 FF             C majorC         G+G G7G7
And through the drunken slander, she held her pride


Chorus:
        C majorC  E7E7    A minorAm
And I'll come back to New Orleans
 FF                G+G
And I hope to find that you're still waiting there for me
        C majorC  E7E7    A minorAm
'Cause I'll be back in New Orleans
 FF    G+G      C majorC E7E7 A minorAm FF C majorC G+G C majorC
If you still want me there

Verse 2:
 C majorC   E7E7             A minorAm
She'd only been two weeks in the city
 FF       C majorC      G+G
It'd only been two nights for me
  C majorC             E7E7          A minorAm
And was it vacation high? It felt so real when we said goodbye
 FF               G+G
And I hope this feeling never fades
 FF         C majorC      FF    C majorC
And the greatest infection is that of affection
  FF       C majorC        G7G7
And I wouldn't have it any other way
  FF        C majorC     FF       C majorC
In a city full of devils, I found an angel there
  FF          C majorC              G+G G7G7
And fell in love with a stripper but I never saw her dance


Chorus:
        C majorC  E7E7    A minorAm
And I'll come back to New Orleans
 FF                G+G
And I hope to find that you're still waiting there for me
        C majorC  E7E7    A minorAm
'Cause I'll be back in New Orleans
 FF    G+G      C majorC E7E7 A minorAm FF C majorC G+G C majorC
If you still want me there


Outro:
 C majorC                   E7E7
And the shallow water shimmers in the street light
 A minorAm               C majorC
The neon signs can't escape the eye
 C majorC      E7E7        A minorAm
And the city sleeps, but I keep on stirring
 FF      G+G         C majorC
So take me back here before I die
