Tabbed by: Danny Halstead

Intro: A  E 

AIt's (x02220@1)Mardis gras in Kansas
                 E (022100@1) 
There ain't no parade

Still I put on a boa and some plastic beads
                        Aand (x02220@1)this little tutu I made

And I walked up and down this midwest town
                      DAll (xx0232@1)I could see were cars

With working stiffs going to work as if
      E (022100@1)                      AThey (x02220@1)didn't know it was Mardi Gras


DMardis (xx0232@1)Gras in Kansas
       AAin't (x02220@1)like it is in New Orleans
            EThere's (022100@1)no marching bands

No Dacquiri stands
                         ANo (x02220@1)hookers and no drag queens
      DNo (xx0232@1)tourists falling in the gutter
         AAs (x02220@1)they put their Margaritas away
EMardis (022100@1)Gras in Kansas

AI (x02220@1)shoulda known something was up
                                    EWhen (022100@1)I saw there was snow on the ground

The neighbours were digging out their driveways
                       AAnd (x02220@1)nobody else was around

Thought I made a mistake

And got the wrong date
                       DMaybe (xx0232@1)this was all a dream

It's Mardi Gras, for sure
           E (022100@1)                 A (x02220@1)       EBut (022100@1)it's Kansas and not New Orleans


DMardis (xx0232@1)Gras in Kansas
         AIt (x02220@1)just ain't the same
             EThere's (022100@1)no Mardi Gras rows

No cups to go
                      ANobody (x02220@1)playing Eliza Jane
         DStill (xx0232@1)I put on a rhumba

       ABut (x02220@1)I felt like a kind of a freak
