Chords

[Intro] Dm Dm [Verse 1]
                           A7
I saw three shrimps in the water

                     Dm
And two were old and grey

                    Gm
So I swam a little closer

      A7                  Dm
And I heard the third one say
[Chorus]
               Gm      Dm
"Goodbye mommy shrimp

                  A7    Dm
And Papa shake my hand

                Gm
Here comes the shrimp boat for

   A7               Dm
To take me to Louisiane"
[Verse 2]
                           A7
He showed his mama and his papa papa papa papa papa papa papa

                        Dm
The shrimp newspaper he read

                    Gm
And there the advertisement

   A7                    Dm
To all the young shrimps said
[Chorus]
                 Gm     Dm
"Free ride New Orleans

                   A7    Dm
To stay in Grand Hotel

     Gm
Meet Creole girl

   A7                   Dm
To help you out of your shell"
[Interlude] Dm A7 Dm Dm Gm A7 Dm [Chorus]
               Gm     Dm
Goodbye mommy shrimp

                  A7    Dm
And Papa shake my hand

                Gm
Here comes the shrimp boat for

   A7              Dm
To take me to Louisiane
[Verse 3]
                           A7
His poor mama and his poor papa papa papa papa papa papa papa

                            Dm
They haven't heard from him yet

                           Gm
Last time they've seen his smiling face

           A7              Dm
Is when he jumped into the net
[Chorus]
               Gm     Dm
Goodbye mommy shrimp

                  A7    Dm
And Papa shake my hand

                Gm
Here comes the shrimp boat for

   A7              Dm
To take me to Louisiane
[Outro]
                Gm
Here comes the shrimp boat for

   A7              Dm
To take me to Louisiane

                Gm
Here comes the shrimp boat for

   A7                 Dm
To take me ah take me
