New Orleans
          Am               F  C* (third case) ..G..E  
I'm scared, I swear of you-uuuuuuuu
           Am                        F  C*                     G  E  
In a tunnel, in the darkness, darkest shade of blue
There's beasts, and there's men
and something on this earth
that comes back again.
Alpha, beta, gamma, ...everybody smoke
Well you can't say, that my soul has gone away
Well you can't say, that my soul has gone away
No, you can't say, that my soul has gone away
Well, this trouble in the house,
trouble on the stairs
Trouble in the trouble,
that trouble in the air
Well, please don't say (repeat in second voice)
That my soul has died away
There is a house in New Orleans
Not the one you heard about
I'm talking 'bout another house
They spoke of gold in the cellar
That a spanish gentleman had left
I broke in one hundred years ago
With a dagger tucked in my vest
Legends ago, that I tried to hold
The grey half lie of the hole at night
One, two, three four five
Well we're trapped inside the song
....
Well we're trapped inside the song
trapped inside the song
trapped inside the song
and the nights are so long

New Orleans

Am F C G E

* (third case) ....

I'm scared, I swear of you-uuuuuuuu

Am F C G E

In a tunnel, in the darkness, darkest shade of blue

There's beasts, and there's men

and something on this earth

that comes back again.

Alpha, beta, gamma, ...everybody smoke

Well you can't say, that my soul has gone away

No, you can't say, that my soul has gone away

Well, this trouble in the house,

trouble on the stairs

Trouble in the trouble,

that trouble in the air

Well, please don't say (repeat in second voice)

That my soul has died away

There is a house in New Orleans

Not the one you heard about

I'm talking 'bout another house

They spoke of gold in the cellar

That a spanish gentleman had left

I broke in one hundred years ago

With a dagger tucked in my vest

Legends ago, that I tried to hold

The grey half lie of the hole at night

One, two, three four five

Well we're trapped inside the song

....

Well we're trapped inside the song

trapped inside the song

and the nights are so long
