PRE-CHORUS:
     E MajorE       C# minorC#m
That she fell right to sleep

After love in the hot afternoon

Now the Bourbon street lady

She was new to me, full of mystery

But now I know

Full of love in the hot afternoon

We got high in the park
   A augmentedA       E MajorE
This morning and we sat, without talkin'

Then we came back here
    A augmentedA      E MajorE
In the heat of the day, tired of walkin'


PRE-CHORUS:
    E MajorE     C# minorC#m
Where under her breath
   E MajorE      C# minorC#m   E MajorE
She hummed to herself a tune

Of love in the hot afternoon
