Creola

Creola

           Cmaj7   |   Cmaj7
Creola for me
[Verse 1]
    Cmaj7
I remember as a child all the happiness and smiles

     Cmaj7                              G7sus   G7
That flowed around my Grandma's Sunday table

             G7sus          G7
While Auntie May was sayin' grace

     G7sus          G7
Papa T. would sneak a taste

G7sus              G7                  Cmaj7
 And catch a funny look from my cousin Mabel
[Verse 2]
     Cmaj7
Then Daddy'd beat the drum, the old folks start to hum

    Cmaj7                        G7sus    G7
And sing the only song that we all knew

G7sus      G7    G7sus         G7
Ambiance so fine dancin' drinkin' wine

G7sus       G7                    Cmaj7
 Sing about the lifestyle on the bayou
[Chorus]
   Cmaj7             Dm     | Dm(maj7)
Creola         In my soula

  Dm7                    G7
I loved what they were sayin'

  Dm7                     G7
I loved what they were playin'

   Cmaj7   |   G7sus  G7
Creola

   Cmaj7             Dm   | Dm(maj7)
Creola    on my victrola,

Dm7                  G7
Makes me feel like dancin

Dm7            E7         Am    Bb9
Fall in love romancin the mel-o-dy

Gb7          F                 Dm
 It's in the mood, it's in the blood,

            Em               Am
It's in the food it's in the mud

[Instrumental] Cmaj7 | Cmaj7 | Dm | Dm(maj7) | Dm7 G7 | Dm7 G7 | Cmaj7 | G7sus G7 | x4 [Verse 3]
         Cmaj7
Well the years have come and gone, still the old song lingers on

  Cmaj7                              G7sus   G7
I keep it in my heart with fond affection

         G7sus          G7
Like the family good luck charm

     G7sus         G7
That keeps away the harm

Creola's always there for my protection
