Basin Street Blues Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Won't you come along with me
To the Missis[D]sippi
[G]We'll take a boat to
the [C]land [D]of dreams
[G]Steam down the river,
down to [D]New Or[G]leans

[Verse 2]
The band's [D]there to [G]meet us
[Em]Old frie[G]nds there to greet[D] us
[G]Where all the proud and
[C]elite [G]folks meet
Heaven on earth, they call it [Eb]Basin [G]Street

[Verse 3]
Basin [G]Street [B]is the street
[E]Where the best folks [B]al ways [E]meet
In [Em]New Orleans,
[D]land of dream[G]s
You'll never [Em]know how [A]nice it seems,
Or [C]just how [D]much it really means
[G]Glad

[Verse 4]
to be, oh [B]yes- sirree
[G]Whe[E]re welcome's free
and dear [Fm]to me[E]
[G]Where I [A]can lose, lose
[G]my Basin Str[D]eet Blu[C]es
[C#dim]Basin Street,[C][G]

[Verse 5]
[C]oh [G]Bas[D]in [Em]Stree[C#dim]t[G]
Is the [F#]street, mama
New [G]Or [C#dim]leans, la[C]nd of[G] dr[D]eam[G]s
