Am(add9)               Fmaj9  B                    E     Dm7 
Standing on the corner          of Toulouse and Dauphine 
E7+                  Am9 
Waitin' on Marie Ondine 
                                   Fmaj7          B 
I'm tryin' to place a tune under a Louisiana moonbeam 
F6/7        E7+             Am 
     On the planet of New Orleans 
 
     Am(add9)                 Fmaj9  B                    E     Dm7 
In a bar they call The Saturn          and in her eyes of green 
    E7+                             Am9 
And somethin' that she said in a dream 
                           Fmaj7           B 
Inside of my suit I got my mojo root and a true love figurine 
F6/7         E7+             Am 
     For the planet of New Orleans 
 
            Am9  E7                                                            Am 
New Orleans         with other life upon it and everything that's shakin' in between 
Am9                             E7 
If you should ever land upon it,   you better know what's on it 
F6/7     E7+             Am9 
     The planet of New Orleans, yeah 
 
        Am(add9)              Fmaj9  B                            E   Dm7 
Now I'm tryin' to find my way          through the rain and the steam 
    E7+                                    Am9 
I'm lookin' straight ahead through the screen 
                         Fmaj7  B 
And then I heard her say        somethin' in the limousine 
 F6/7 
'Bout takin' a ride 
           E7+             Am 
Across the planet of New Orleans 
 
Fmaj9  B  E7  Dm7  E   Am9  E7     Am9  Fmaj7  B  E7  Dm7  E   Am9  Fmaj9  B  E7  Dm7  E   Am9 
E7     Am9  Fmaj7  B  E7  Dm7  E   Am9  Esus4  Fsus4  Am(add9)  Fsus4  Esus4  Fsus4  Esus4 
 
   Am(add9)           Fmaj9                     B                  E  Dm7 
If she was an ace and I was just a jack and the cards were never seen 
   E7+                                 Am9 
We could have been the king and the queen 
                           Fmaj7               B 
But she took me on back to her courtyard where magnolia perfume screams 
           F6/7 
Behind the gates and the granite 
       E7+             Am 
Of the planet of New Orleans 
 
            Am9  E7                                                            Am 
New Orleans         with other life upon it and everything that's shakin' in between 
Am9                             E7 
If you should ever land upon it,   you better know what's on it 
F6/7     E7+             Am9 
     The planet of New Orleans 
E7                                                             Am   E7    
   With other life upon it and everything that's shakin' in between 
Am9                             E7 
If you should ever land upon it,   you better know what's on it 
Dm7     E               Am    Fmaj7  B  E7 
    The planet of New Orleans 
Dm7     E               Am    Fmaj7  Bb  E7  Dm7  E
