Words & music By Paul Simon 1973
|C |
C'mon take me to the Mardi Gras
|G7 |
Where the people sing and play
|
Where the dancing is elite
|
And there's music in the street
|C |
Both night and day
Tacet |C |
Hurry take me to the Mardi Gras
|G7 |
In the city of my dreams
|
You can legalize your lows
|
You can wear your summer clothes
|C |C7 |
In the New Orleans
|F |
And I will lay my burden down
|F9 |
Rest my head upon that shore
|Eb |
And when I wear that starry crown
|Gm |G7 | |
I won't be wanting anymore
Tacet |C |
Take your burdens to the Mardi Gras
|G7 |
Let the music wash your soul
|
You can mingle in the street
| |C |
You can jingle to the beat of the jelly roll
No chord |C |
Tumba, tumba, tumba, Mardi Gras
|G7 |
Tumba, tumba, tumba, day
| | |C | |
