[Intro]

Em Em B7 C

[Verse 1]

Well I've been living in sin for about a month

Something turns me round it's something that I just

Can't understand the way I behave

On my right hand I've got a girl on my ear

G Em

And in my left hand I'm throwing back a beer

What can I say? Of me you steer clear

When I driving down on Bourbon Street yeah

[Pre-Chorus]

Am Em

Every night we through this little soiree

Am B7

Gonna turn her head until she's mine all mine

Am Em

Every night I breed a new disaster

I might be right I might be wrong

Try to get away and I will bring you right along so

[Chorus]

Sit back have a seat

Sometimes salty sometimes sweet

Hard to swallow but fun to eat

You ain't never leaving Bourbon Street oh come on!

[Verse 2]

Em Em B7 Am

When I walk the street people step aside

Twirling my cane and smiling wide

Some would say I'm a carnal slave

Try to swim with me and you're bound to drown

Throw you a line while you're going down c'mon!
