[C#m] [E]
From somewhere outside I hear [A] the street vendor [E]
cry fillet gumbo
From my window I see him
[A] Going down [E] the street and he don't know
That she fell right to [C#m]
sleep [E] in the damp tangled [C#m]
sheets [E] so soon
After love [B] in the hot [E] afternoon
[B] [C#m] Now [B] the bourbon street lady
[A] sleeps [E] like a baby
in the shadow
[B] She [C#] [B] was new 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 blue
[B] [E] We [D]
[A] [E] got [D]
[A] [E]
high in the park [A] this morning and [E] we said 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 hung to [C#m]
herself [E] a tune
In [B] the hot [E] afternoon
[B] Now the bourbon street lady
[A] sleeps [E] like a baby
in the shadow
[B] [C#m] She [B] was new to me
