A5  F5  Bb5  E5  D5  E5   A5  F5  Bb5  E5  F5  E5  A5  F5  Bb5  E5  F5  E5 

A5  E5  F5  A5  F5  E5  F5  E5 
 
A5               F5  B5                    E5     D5 
Standing on the corner          of Toulouse and Dauphine 
E5                  A5 
Waitin' on Marie Ondine 
                                   F5          B5 
I'm tryin' to place a tune under a Louisiana moonbeam 
F5        E5             A5 
     On the planet of New Orleans 
 

     A5                 F5  B5                    E5     D5 
In a bar they call The Saturn          and in her eyes of green 
    E5                             A5 
And somethin' that she said in a dream 
                           F5           B5 
Inside of my suit I got my mojo root and a true love figurine 
F5         E5             A5 
     For the planet of New Orleans 
 

            A5  E5                                                            A5 
New Orleans         with other life upon it and everything that's shakin' in between 
A5                             E5 
If you should ever land upon it,   you better know what's on it 
F5     E5             A5 
     The planet of New Orleans, yeah 
 

        A5              F5  B5                            E5   D5 
Now I'm tryin' to find my way          through the rain and the steam 
    E5                                    A5 
I'm lookin' straight ahead through the screen 
                         F5  B5 
And then I heard her say        somethin' in the limousine 
 F5 
'Bout takin' a ride 
           E5             A5 
Across the planet of New Orleans 
 

F5  B5  E5  D5  E5   A5  E5     A5  F5  B5  E5  D5  E5   A5  F5  B5  E5  D5  E5   A5 

E5     A5  F5  B5  E5  D5  E5   A5  E5  F5  A5  F5  E5  F5  E5 
 
   A5           F5                     B5                  E5  D5 
If she was an ace and I was just a jack and the cards were never seen 
   E5                                 A5 
We could have been the king and the queen 
                           F5               B5 
But she took me on back to her courtyard where magnolia perfume screams 
           F5 
Behind the gates and the granite 
       E5             A5 
Of the planet of New Orleans 
 

            A5  E5                                                            A5 
New Orleans         with other life upon it and everything that's shakin' in between 
A5                             E5 
If you should ever land upon it,   you better know what's on it 
F5     E5             A5 
     The planet of New Orleans 
E5                                                             A5   E5    
   With other life upon it and everything that's shakin' in between 
A5                             E5 
If you should ever land upon it,   you better know what's on it 
D5     E5               A5    F5  B5  E5 
    The planet of New Orleans 
D5     E5               A5    F5  Bb5  E5  D5  E5  
    The planet of New Orleans
