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

In a bar they call the Saturn
And in her eyes of green
And something that she said in a dream
Inside of my suit I got my mojo root
And a true love figurine
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
F     E7             Am
The planet of New Orleans

Now I'm trying to find my way
Through the rain and the steam
I'm looking straight ahead through the screen
And then I heard her say
Something in the limousine
About taking a ride across
the planet of New Orleans

If she was an ace
And I was just a jack
And the cards were never seen
We could have been the king and the queen
But she took me back to her courtyard
Where magnolia perfume screams
Behind the gates and the granite
Of the planet of New Orleans

Chorus:
New Orleans
With other life upon it
And everything that's shaking in between
If you should ever land upon it
You better know what's on it
The planet of New Orleans

With other life upon it
And everything that's shaking in between
If you should ever land upon it
You better know what's on it
The planet of New Orleans
