A     F#m     A 
INTRO 
 
 
A  
Down in Louisiana bayous by and by,  
 
Perogue pole or your natural soul  
 
Keeps you tied to a tree high tide.  
F#m 
Beer joint lights come on,  
             A  
And then the crowd starts rollin' in.  
 
 
  
Pretty soon you got stars on the water  
 
Just like stars on the water  
        F#m                        A 
You got stars on the water, let it rain  
 
 
A 
Beaumont to Biloxi,  
 
Sea breeze at your door.  
 
Gypsy rains, dang hurricanes  
 
White silver sandy shores.  
    F#m 
The Blue Light lounge is shinin'  
A   
Way out on the view.  
 
 
  
It looks just like stars on the water  
           
Just like stars on the water  
          F#m                        A 
Just like stars on the water, let it rain  
 
 
A    F#m    A   
INSTRUMENTAL 
 
 
A 
When it's midnight down in Mobile,  
 
Shinin' moonbeams on the bay,  
 
They come from miles around to dance the jukebox down  
 
And dig the good time sounds they all play.  
    F#m  
And all across the harbour,  
A 
Night lights shinin' on.  
 
 
 
It looks just like stars on the water,  
 
Just like stars on the water,  
                F#m                        A  
Feels just like stars on the water, let it rain.  
 
 
 
Pretty soon you got stars on the water, 
 
You got stars on the water, 
        F#m                        A 
You got stars on the water, let it rain.
