Year down in new orleans Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G][Am][G][C][G]
I truly need,
a year down in New Orleans,
[Am]The hum of a sou[Bm]thern draw[G]l
that [C]I could understand
[G]And sho[D]uld you mee[G]t,
my sweetheart in New Orleans
[C]Kindly pass my [Bm]heart into the [C]safety
[D]of his hands[G]
[Am][Bm][G][C]

[Verse 2]
[G]
I remember clover,
in the fields south of New Orleans
[Am]And we ran so [G]blindly through [C]the fields
[G]of summer cane
Now when I'm lonely,
I send my heart down to New Orleans
[C]To chase my mem[G]ories
[C]alone down [D]through my [G]dreams

[Verse 3]
[C]How I miss the clar[G]ity I
[Am]left there [D]in my [G]youth
[C]Will there be another [G]heart
who can en[Am]dure my [D]solitude?
[G]His roses grow, so lovely in New Orleans
[Am]Their petals do re[G]call the myste[C]ries
in his eye[G]s
Now, should you go,
to that garden in New Orleans
[C]Kindly tend a [G]rose beside his [C]heart for [D]me,
and [G]sigh
[Am][G][C][D]
