Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans
Words & Music by Louis Alter & Eddy De Lange
Recorded by Fats Domino, 1993
E7/6 A D9 Cdim A
Do you know what it means to miss New Or - leans
D9 AM7 C#m7-5 F#7
And miss it each night and day?
Bm7 Dm6 A9 C#m7-5 F#7
I know I'm not wrong -- this feeling's gettin' stronger
Bm Bm7/E Dm6 E7
The longer, I stay a - way.
E7/6 E7 A D9 Cdim Bm7-5 E6
Miss them moss covered vines, the tall sugar pines
D9 AM7 C#m7-5 F#7
Where mockin' birds used to sing;
Bm7 Cdim A9 C#m7-5 F#7
And I'd like to see that lazy Mis - sis - sip - pi
D9 E7/6 A
Hurryin' into spring.
[Bridge]
Esus4 E7-9 Cdim A6
The moonlight on the bayou,
F#m Esus4 E7-9 Cdim A6
A Creole tune that fills the air;
Fdim E7 Bm7-5 AM7 F#m
I dream about Magnolias in bloom
B7 Cdim E7
And I'm wishin' I was there.
E7/6 E7 A D9 Cdim Bm7-5 A6
Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
D9 AM7 C#m7-5 F#7
When that's where you left your heart?
Bm7 Cdim A9 C#m7-5 F#7
And there's something more: I miss the one I care for
D9 Dm6 E7 A
More than I miss New Orleans.
