In this city we reach out for the middle ground

In the sea of tears

Lies a city ghost

In the spirit of the Mardi Gras
C            Bb
 Well, the people hope
             F                  F G
That their lives will get better

I wanna get a room in New Orleans
         F            G                     C
I wanna sing in the streets of the French Quarter

  And go down Bourbon Street
VERSE:
F G C
      I see a sea of smiles
F G             C
      I see a haunted city reachin' out
F      G                 C
I see hope in all their faces
   F                 G       C
Behind the mask of Mardi Gras
           F                       F G
Where the good and the righteous walk
                  C    F G
And the wicked as well
