Chords for Tab Benoit... New Orleans Ladies

_ _ _ _ _ _ I grew up listening to these guys play music and we grew up listening to this one song
in particular that really hit real big on all the jukeboxes at the pool halls in [B] Houma [Eb] and Thibodeau.
[B] _ [E] But pretty much once you got out of Houma and [Fm] Thibodeau nobody knew who the hell they were.
[Gbm] [Em] So, no I'm joking they were [B] on MTV [N] in tight pants and teased hair _ with a lot of aquanet
sprayed in it to keep it up.
_ Just picture Leon like that.
That's right.
That's how I saw him the first time I saw him.
Stretch pants and teased hair.
And he had a little [B] mustache and all.
He [N] looked real mean actually.
He looked like he could kick your ass.
Cause he had that mean rock and roll 80's look.
Like I'll kick your ass if you talk about my stretch pants and my teased hair.
_ _ _ But he's actually a lot cooler than that and it's an honor to play with the guys [Eb] from The
Roof and to play this song with them.
Cause it's one of the first songs I had to sing at the first [B] wedding gig I ever had.
[N] And it's a beautiful song.
It goes like this.
And you know what I'm sayin'?
[B] _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ [Abm] _ _ [B] _ [E] You know what I'm sayin'?
[B] You know what I'm _ [Gb] _ sayin'?
[B] [F] You know [Gb] what I'm [Abm] sayin'? _
[Dbm] What?
_ Sassy style.
[E] They drive you [Am] crazy.
[B] _ And they hold [Abm] you like a client. _ _
[E] _ _ Hold you [Gbm] with a [Gb] kiss.
Can't nobody [B] _ [Ebm] make [Eb] me [Abm] clear, baby
They're [Dbm] _ _ dead-round [E] and downright lazy
[B] And [Bb] they [Abm] roll just like the river
