INTRO: E5 B5 E5 B5 E5 A5 E5 - B5 A5 I think I'll go back down to New Orleans, try to bury my travellin' bone E5 A5 B5 B5 Unpredictable me like I swore I would be, nothing's ever written in stone. E5 A5 There's a knock on her door, is she here anymore? E5 - B5 A5 I guess me and the neighbors will see. E5 A5 If the one thing that I couldn't do without her A5 - B5 E5 She couldn't do without me. A5 A5 Could I leave her behind, go on losin' my mind, E5 E5 While the good times continue to roll. A5 D5 With this time on my hands, I could change all my plans B5 B5 And it really wouldn't bother a soul E5 E5 I could make all the rounds, paint all the towns A5 A5 Do all that and more on my own, E5 B5 E5 But a man can't survive on Happiness Alone. Take a good look around, this is New Orleans A free wheeler's got to feel right at home But it's a hell of a leap, whether shallow or deep That old river's gonna keep moving on Like that muddy Mississippi, she keeps pulling me under When you're in it nothing ever seems clear I could stand on the bank, just toss in my line But there's way too many fish around here Could I leave 'em behind for the one the line Are the good times still gonna roll? With this time on my hands, I could change all my plans And it really wouldn't bother a soul I could make all the rounds, paint all the towns Do all that and more on my own, But a man can't survive on Happiness Alone.
