Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[A][Em][A][Em][A]

[Verse 1]
Everybody's [D]had a few
Now they're talking about
[A]who knows who
I'm going back to [Bm]the Crescent City
Where [G]everything's still [A]the same
This town has said what it [D]has to say
Now I'm after that [A]back highway
And the longest [Bm]bridge
I've ever [G]crossed
Over Pontchartrain
[A]

[Verse 2]
Tous les temps [Em]en temps
That's what we [A]say
We used to [Em]dance
The night [A]away
Me and my [Em]sister
Me and my [A]brother
We used to [Em]walk
Down by the [A]river

[Verse 3]
[A]
Mama lives in [D]Mandeville
I can hardly [A]wait until
I can hear [Bm]my Zydeco
And lais[G]sez le bon [A]temps rouler
Take rides in [D]open cars
My brother knows where
the [A]best bars are
Let's see how these [Bm]blues'll do
In [G]the town where the good [A]times stay

[Verse 4]
Tous les temps en [Em]temps
That's what we [A]say
We used to [Em]dance
The night [A]away
Me and my [Em]sister
Me and my [A]brother
We used to [Em]walk
Down by the [A]river

[Interlude 1]
[A][D][A][Bm][G][A]

[Verse 5]
Tous les temps en [Em]temps
That's what we [A]say
We used [Em]to dance
The night [A]away
Me and my [Em]sister
Me and my [A]brother
We used to [Em]walk
Down by the [A]river

[Outro 1]
[A][Em][A][Em][A]
