intro: Am C D Am C G

Well I see for me a dream in New Orleans

Lay me down by the old Lake Pontchartrain (hey hey hey)

We’ll rock and we’ll roll he mathematician’s gold

Finally raindogs will have their day

chorus:

Times a-wasting MaryJane

Times a-wasting MaryJane

She said ’09 was unkind to a gypsy heart like mine

walking shoes tend to follow a wandering eye (ay ya ya)

The trains run on time down the St Charles Avenue line

Hearts will crawl when they fall for the running kind

(And I’m the running kind)

Chorus

It’s lonely at the Saturn Bar at a quarter to 3 I wonder where you are

Easy go little castles in the sand, aw man

When the sun rose on St Claude that day

Big Easy dreams they had washed away

Where’s a bird without a wire to land

Chorus (2x)

Intro E-A x2

Make the bed, set the table sweep the floor and then once more

Find yourself something to do before the devil gets his due

Chorus:

And I see you’re always so sad

I see you’re always so sad

Won’t drive a car, won’t take the train. Won’t step one foot inside a plane

It’s not those things that’s got you scared

It’s what you’ll find once you get there

(Chorus)

E A (x2)

When something is wrong with you

Like Elmore says “It hurts me too”

I can’t stand to see you cry yourself asleep drunk every night

(Chorus)

Oh Tennessee (x4)

I see you’re always….so sad (x 4)
