E5     A5           D5      C5            A5  
Do you know what it means to miss New Or - leans  
D5  A5          C#5     F#5 
And miss it each night and day? 
  B5          D5           A5        C#5   F#5    
I know I'm not wrong -- this feeling's gettin' stronger  
    B5        B5 D5   E5 
The longer, I stay   a - way. 
 
 
E5  E5  A5            D5        C5 B5   E5  
Miss them moss covered vines, the tall sugar pines  
 D5  A5           C#5    F#5 
Where mockin' birds used to sing; 
    B5        C5      A5  C#5      F#5    
And I'd like to see that lazy Mis - sis - sip - pi 
D5       E5   A5 
Hurryin' into spring. 
 
Bridge: 
    E5    E5 C5  A5 
The moonlight on  the  bayou,  
F#5       E5     E5 C5  A5 
A  Creole tune that fills the air;  
F5 E5   B5    A5       F#5 
 I  dream about Magnolias in bloom  
        B5     C5    E5 
And I'm wishin' I was there. 
 
 
E5 E5  A5            D5     C5 B5    A5  
 Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans  
D5    A5            C#5     F#5 
When that's where you left your heart? 
     B5              C5     A5     C#5  F#5    
And there's something more: I miss the  one I care for  
D5          D5  E5      A5  
More than I miss New Orleans.
