Robert Earl Keen – Hello New Orleans (Guitar)

C               F                 Am             G
Standin' here beside this freeway wishing I was high

C                 F                 Am                 G
Wondering why she said she loved me then she said goodbye

    Am              Em              F              G
I'm down to my last dollar in these faded old blue jeans

   C        F         G            C
So adios to Amarillo, hello New Orleans

C                     F                Am                G
Her hair was made of summer sunlight the moon lit in her eyes

C                        F                Am               G
Her voice would ride the wind at midnight across the starry skies

     Am               Em                  F           G
Love is blind that's what they tell me in all those magazines

    C       F         G            C
So adios to Amarillo, hello New Orleans

C                    F                 Am              G
We talked about our lives together we talked about our plans

C                          F             Am                   G
We walked through rain and windy weather across the shifting sands

    Am                  Em              F              G
She took the car that's how I know this ain't no crazy dream

   C        F         G            C
So adios to Amarillo, hello New Orleans

C                    F            Am           G
I'll eat my fill of jambalaya and crawfish etouffé

C                F              Am                      G
I'll drink the Mississippi dry, laissez les bon temps rouler

      Am              Em          F              G
I'll trade her memory in on one of those Cajun queens

   C         F        G            C
So adios to Amarillo, hello New Orleans

   C         F        G            C
So adios to Amarillo, hello New Orleans
