[Verse 1]
EDrunk footsteps on the cobblestone
Are F#m7making me feel right at home
AEven though I'm miles away from Ethere
EGumbo cooking on the stove
F#m7Mixed with rum and cigarette smoke
ASticking to my soul, my clothes and my Ehair
And I smell F#mfreedom in the Aair
[Chorus]
I Asaid someday I'd Esail to New Orleans
F#mFind myself getting Elost in the quarter
In some Ashady place
With a Ehurricane F#mblowing my troubles Eaway
ASinging along with an Eold black man
As the F#msaints go marching through Edixie land
AI always dreamed I'd Ebe right here someF#m7dayF#m  
And it looks like DsomeAday tEoday
[Verse 2]
EMy phone's buzzing on the bar
But I F#m7don't give a damn who you are
Even Aif it's you, we've got nothing left to Esay
I guess the muddy waters cleared my mind
It was F#mover before we said goodbye
Now it's Amy time, let me roll aBway
[Chorus]
I Asaid someday I'd Esail to New Orleans
F#mFind myself getting Elost in the quarter
In some Ashady place
With a Ehurricane F#mblowing my troubles Eaway
ASinging along with an Eold black man
As the F#msaints go marching through Edixie land
AI always dreamed I'd Ebe right here someF#m7dayF#m  
And it looks like DsomeAday toEday
It looks like DsomeAday toEday
[Bridge]
SC#mun breaks through the clouds
As the bF#martender sets aAnother drink down
She C#msmiles at the smile on my face
And she F#m7says, "it's gonna be F#someday toAday"
[Chorus]
And we're Asinging along the Ebest we can
As the F#msaints go marching through Edixie land
I Aalways dreamed I'd Ebe right here someF#m7day
And it Alooks like DsomeAday toEday
Looks like DsomedAay todEay
Looks like someday today

Drunk footsteps on the cobblestone

Are making me feel right at home

Even though I'm miles away from there

Gumbo cooking on the stove

Mixed with rum and cigarette smoke

Sticking to my soul, my clothes and my hair

F#m A

And I smell freedom in the air

[Chorus]

A E

I said someday I'd sail to New Orleans

F#m E

Find myself getting lost in the quarter

In some shady place

E F#m E

With a hurricane blowing my troubles away

A E

Singing along with an old black man

F#m E

As the saints go marching through dixie land

A E F#m7 F#m

I always dreamed I'd be right here someday

D A E

And it looks like someday today

[Verse 2]

My phone's buzzing on the bar

F#m7

But I don't give a damn who you are

Even if it's you, we've got nothing left to say

I guess the muddy waters cleared my mind

It was over before we said goodbye

Now it's my time, let me roll away

[Chorus]

I said someday I'd sail to New Orleans

As the bartender sets another drink down

And she says, "it's gonna be someday today"

And we're singing along the best we can

As the saints go marching through dixie land
