PRE-CHORUS:
     E       C#m
That she fell right to sleep
    E      C#m    E
In the damp tangled sheets so soon

    E      B    E
After love in the hot afternoon


CHORUS:
     B
Now the Bourbon street lady
 A      E
Sleeps like a baby in the shadows
(In the shadows)
     B     A      E
She was new to me, full of mystery

But now I know
(But I know)


PRE-CHORUS:
   E      C#m
That she's just a girl
   E     C#m    E
And I'm just a guy, in a room

     E      B    E
Full of love in the hot afternoon

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

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


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

  E      B    E
Of love in the hot afternoon


CHORUS:
     B
Now the Bourbon street lady
 A      E
Sleeps like a baby in the shadows
(In the shadows)
     B     A      E
She was new to me, full of mystery

But now I know
(But I know)


PRE-CHORUS:
   E      C#m
That she's just a girl
   E     C#m    E
And I'm just a guy, in a room

     E      B    E
Full of love in the hot afternoon
