[G] [Em] [G] [Em] [G]I’ll miss the Quarter, the Magnolias and the Pontchartrain [C]And the French Market on a Saturday, I’ll miss the feel of this place [G]I’ll miss the bayou sunrise, the Mardi Gras and the Second Lines [C]Bourbon jazz, sidewalk kids, with bottle cap taps, dancing for tips

[G]But I’m leaving New Orleans, there’s too much of you in this town [Em]Your memory is like moss in the trees, every corner it’s just hanging around [D]Well, The Big Easy ain’t so easy, hard to say it but baby come [C]morning [C]I’ll be rolling like the Mississippi leaving New Orleans

[G] [G]I like highways, so maybe LA is the place for me [C]If I point these wheels toward the Hollywood sign, all those miles can clear my mind [G]Or I could watch a horse race on some bluegrass, where Bourbon’s made [C]Catch some rays in the Sunshine State, hit Seattle if I need a little rain

[G] [Em] [D]I guess our good times have rolled away, [C]well, laissez les bons temps rouler [G]But I’m leaving New Orleans, there’s too much of you in this town [Em]Your memory is like moss in the trees, every corner it’s just hanging around [D]Well, The Big Easy ain’t so easy, hard to say it but baby come [C]morning
