[Intro] D Bm Em G x2 [Verse 1]
D                Bm
   Your smile is fading a bit

    Em        G                   D
So I ration it, don't think about it

               Bm
Here where the Mississippi quits

Em
   Where it's still got a bit

G
   Of Minnesota in it
[Interlude] D Bm Em G [Verse 2]
D                       Bm
   No one will give you a thing these days

Em                      G             D
   They'd rather kill it or throw it away

                   Bm
You don't do dark American streets so

Em        G
   If New Orleans is beat
[Chorus]
Bm
   If New Orleans is beat

G
   If New Orleans is beat

D
   If New Orleans is beat

Em
   If New Orleans is beat

G                             D   Bm Em G
   Where's that leave you and me?
[Interlude] D Bm Em G [Verse 3]
D                      Bm
   The river takes and takes, takes and takes

Em                  G             D
   It doesn't change and only changes

                  Bm
See it there in a picture with me

Em
   There's a caption beneath:

G                  Bm
   "New Orleans is beat"
[Chorus]
           Bm
And if New Orleans is beat

G
   If New Orleans is beat

D
   If New Orleans is beat

Em
   If New Orleans is beat

G                             D   Bm Em
   Where's that leave you and me?
[Outro]
G                          D   Bm Em
Where's that leave you and me?

G                          D   Bm Em G
Where's that leave you and me?

D                Bm
   Your smile is fading a bit

    Em        G                   D  Bm Em G
So I ration it, don't think about it
D Bm Em G D
