Intro.: Am7 Fmaj7 A# E Dm E7 Am7 C Fmaj7 A# E Dm E7 Am C F Fmaj7 A# E Dm7 E7 Am7 Fmaj7 Am7 Fmaj7 Em Fmaj7 Em
Am7                    Fmaj7
Standin' in the corner

B7                   Am7
  Of Toulouse and Dauphine

Dm  E7                 Am7
    Waitin' on Marie-Ondine

    Am7           
I'm tryin' to place a tune

           Fmaj7      B7
Under a Louisiana moonbeam

Dm       E7              Am
  On the planet of New Orleans

      Am7                     Fmaj7
In a bar they call The Saturn

B7                   E
  And in her eyes of green

Dm    E7                           Am7
  And somethin' that she said in a dream

  Am7                      Fmaj7
Inside of my suit I got my mojo root

      B7
And a true love figurine

Dm        E7              Am
  For the planet of New Orleans
Chorus:
  Am7         E7
  New Orleans - With other life upon it

                                      Am
  And everythin' that's shakin' in between

  Am7
  If you should ever land upon it

  E7
    You better know what's on it

  Dm    E7              Am
    The planet of New Orleans

        Am7                   Fmaj7
Now I'm tryin' to find my way

B7                          E
  Through the rain and the steam

Dm    E7                                  Am7
  I'm lookin' straight ahead through the screen

    Am7                   Fmaj7
And then I heard her say

B7
Somethin' in the limousine

      Dm                       E7              Am7
'bout taking a ride across the planet of New Orleans
Instr.: Am7 Fmaj7 B7 E7 Dm E7 Am7 Fmaj7 B7 Dm E7 --> 2x Am7 Fmaj7 Am7 Fmaj7 Em7 Fmaj7 Em7
   Am7
If she was an ace

    Fmaj7
And I was just a jack

        B7                  E
And the cards were never seen

Dm   E7                                 Am7
  We could have been the king and the queen

        Am7             Fmaj7
But she took me back to her courtyard

        B7
Where magnolia perfume screams

           Dm
Behind the gates and the granites

       E7              Am
Of the planet of New Orleans
Chorus twice Instr.: Am7 Fmaj7 B7 E Dm E7 Am7 Am7 Fmaj7 A# E7 Dm E7 ---> repeate to fade
