Crescent City chords
Start Jamming...
Everybody's had a few
Now they're [B] talking about who knows who
I'm going back to [C#m] the Crescent City
[A] Where everything's still [B] the same
This town has said [E] what it has to say
Now I'm after [B] that back highway
And the Long Diff [C#m] Bridge
I've ever [A] crossed over [B] Pontchartrain
To eat on [F#m] some toast
That's what [B] we say
We [F#m] used to dance
The [B] night away
Me [F#m] and my sister
Me and [B] my brother
We [F#m] used to walk
Down [B] by the river
Mama lives [E] in Manville
I can hardly [B] wait until
I can hear [C#m] my Zydeco
And [A] Les Eléments En [B] Relais
And take [E] rides in open cars
My brother knows [B] where the best bars are
Let's see how [C#m] they do
In [A] the town where the good [B] times stay
To eat on [F#m] some toast
That's [B] what we say
We [F#m] used to dance
The night [B] away
Me [F#m] and my sister
Me and [B] my brother
[F#m] We used to walk
Down [B] by the river
