Am7 (x02010@1)                  Fmaj7Standin' (1x3210@1)in the corner
B7 (x21202@1)                 Am7 (x02010@1) Of Toulouse and Dauphine
Dm (xx0231@1)E7 (020130@1)               Am7 (x02010@1)   Waitin' on Marie-Ondine
    Am7 (x02010@1)         
I'm tryin' to place a tune
           Fmaj7 (1x3210@1)    B7Under (x21202@1)a Louisiana moonbeam
Dm (xx0231@1)     E7 (020130@1)            Am (x02210@1) On the planet of New Orleans

      Am7 (x02010@1)                   Fmaj7In (1x3210@1)a bar they call The Saturn
B7 (x21202@1)                 E (022100@1) And in her eyes of green
Dm (xx0231@1)  E7 (020130@1)                         Am7 (x02010@1) And somethin' that she said in a dream
  Am7 (x02010@1)                    Fmaj7Inside (1x3210@1)of my suit I got my mojo root
      B7And (x21202@1)a true love figurine
Dm (xx0231@1)      E7 (020130@1)            Am (x02210@1) For the planet of New Orleans


Chorus:

  Am7 (x02010@1)       E7 (020130@1) New Orleans - With other life upon it
                                      Am (x02210@1) And everythin' that's shakin' in between
  Am7
  If you should ever land upon it
  E7 (020130@1)   You better know what's on it
  Dm (xx0231@1)  E7 (020130@1)            Am (x02210@1)   The planet of New Orleans


        Am7 (x02010@1)                 Fmaj7Now (1x3210@1)I'm tryin' to find my way
B7 (x21202@1)                        E (022100@1) Through the rain and the steam
Dm (xx0231@1)  E7 (020130@1)                                Am7 (x02010@1) I'm lookin' straight ahead through the screen
    Am7 (x02010@1)                 Fmaj7And (1x3210@1)then I heard her say
B7Somethin' (x21202@1)in the limousine
      Dm (xx0231@1)                     E7 (020130@1)            Am7'bout (x02010@1)taking a ride across the planet of New Orleans

   Am7If (x02010@1)she was an ace
    Fmaj7And (1x3210@1)I was just a jack
        B7 (x21202@1)                EAnd (022100@1)the cards were never seen
Dm (xx0231@1) E7 (020130@1)                               Am7 (x02010@1) We could have been the king and the queen
        Am7 (x02010@1)           Fmaj7But (1x3210@1)she took me back to her courtyard
        B7Where (x21202@1)magnolia perfume screams
           DmBehind (xx0231@1)the gates and the granites
       E7 (020130@1)            AmOf (x02210@1)the planet of New Orleans
