[A] Come on, take me to the Mardi Gras, where the people [E] sing and play, where the dancing
is elite, and there's music in the street both night [A] and day.
Hurry, take me to the Mardi Gras, in the city [E] of my dreams.
You can legalize your lows, you can wear your summer clothes [A] in New Orleans.
And I will lay my [D] burden down, I rest my head upon that [E] shore.
And when I wear that [C] starry crown, I won't be wanting [Em]
anymore.
[E]
[Em] [E] [A] Take your burdens to the Mardi Gras, let the [E] music wash your soul.
You can mingle in the street, you can jingle to the beat of a jelly [A] roll.
Tumba, tumba, tumba, Mardi Gras.
Tumba, tumba, [E] tumba day.
