From somewhere outside I [A] hear the street vendor [E] cry,
Gile Gumbo.
From my window I see him [A] going down [E] the street,
And he don't know
That she fell right [C#m] to sleep in [E] the damp tangled [C#m] sheets [E] so soon.
After a long [B] and a hot
[E] afternoon,
Now [B] the bourbon street lady
[A] sleeps [E] like a baby in the shadow.
She [B] was dear to me,
[A] full of [E] mystery,
But now I know
That she's [C#m] just a girl,
[E] And I'm [C#m] just a guy [E] in the room.
For a love [B] in a hot
[E] afternoon,

[E] [D]
[E] We got high in the park [A] this morning and [E] we sat without talking.
Then we came back here [A] in the heat of the [E] day, tired of walking.
Where under [C#m] her breath [E] she hummed to [C#m] herself [E] a tune.
