Am9  F7M  Bb7M  E9  Dm7  E   Am9  Fmaj9  Bb7M  E9  F6/7  E7M  Am9  Fmaj9  Bb  E9  F6/7  E7M 

Am9  Esus4  Fsus4  Am(9)  Fsus4  Esus4  Fsus4  Esus4 
 
Am(9)               Fmaj9  B                    E     Dm7 
Standing on the corner          of Toulouse and Dauphine 
E7M                  Am9 
Waitin' on Marie Ondine 
                                   F7M          B 
I'm tryin' to place a tune under a Louisiana moonbeam 
F6/7        E7M             Am 
     On the planet of New Orleans 
 

     Am(9)                 Fmaj9  B                    E     Dm7 
In a bar they call The Saturn          and in her eyes of green 
    E7M                             Am9 
And somethin' that she said in a dream 
                           F7M           B 
Inside of my suit I got my mojo root and a true love figurine 
F6/7         E7M             Am 
     For the planet of New Orleans 
 

            Am9  E7                                                            Am 
New Orleans         with other life upon it and everything that's shakin' in between 
Am9                             E7 
If you should ever land upon it,   you better know what's on it 
F6/7     E7M             Am9 
     The planet of New Orleans, yeah 
 

        Am(9)              Fmaj9  B                            E   Dm7 
Now I'm tryin' to find my way          through the rain and the steam 
    E7M                                    Am9 
I'm lookin' straight ahead through the screen 
                         F7M  B 
And then I heard her say        somethin' in the limousine 
 F6/7 
'Bout takin' a ride 
           E7M             Am 
Across the planet of New Orleans 
 

Fmaj9  B  E7  Dm7  E   Am9  E7     Am9  F7M  B  E7  Dm7  E   Am9  Fmaj9  B  E7  Dm7  E   Am9 

E7     Am9  F7M  B  E7  Dm7  E   Am9  Esus4  Fsus4  Am(9)  Fsus4  Esus4  Fsus4  Esus4 
 
   Am(9)           Fmaj9                     B                  E  Dm7 
If she was an ace and I was just a jack and the cards were never seen 
   E7M                                 Am9 
We could have been the king and the queen 
                           F7M               B 
But she took me on back to her courtyard where magnolia perfume screams 
           F6/7 
Behind the gates and the granite 
       E7M             Am 
Of the planet of New Orleans 
 

            Am9  E7                                                            Am 
New Orleans         with other life upon it and everything that's shakin' in between 
Am9                             E7 
If you should ever land upon it,   you better know what's on it 
F6/7     E7M             Am9 
     The planet of New Orleans 
E7                                                             Am   E7    
   With other life upon it and everything that's shakin' in between 
Am9                             E7 
If you should ever land upon it,   you better know what's on it 
Dm7     E               Am    F7M  B  E7 
    The planet of New Orleans 
Dm7     E               Am    F7M  Bb  E7  Dm7  E  
    The planet of New Orleans
