Basin Street Blues

Words & Music by Spencer Williams, 1926

Recorded by Louis Armstrong, 1928

[G7] [C] [G7] [Cdim] [C] [C] [Dm7] [Cdim] [C]

Won't you come along with me

[C] [Dm7] [C7] [G7+5] [C] [Bb] [G7+5]

Down that Mis - sis - sip - pi;

[C] [C7] [F] [Fm]

We'll take a boat to the land of dreams,

[C] [G/B] [Am7] [Bb9] [G7] [C] [G]

Steam down the river down to New Orleans.

[C] [G7] [Cdim] [C] [C] [Dm7] [Cdim] [C]

The band's there to greet us,

[C] [C7] [G7] [G7+5] [C] [Bb] [G7+5]

Old friends will meet us,

[C] [C7] [F] [Fm]

Where all people like to meet

[C] [C/B] [Am7] [Am7/G] [G7] [C] [G7]

Heaven on earth, they call it Basin Street

[C] [C/B] [E7]

Basin Street is the street

[A7] [A7]/9 [A] [A7]

Where the elite always meet --

[D] [Am7] [D9] [G7]

In New Orleans, land of dreams

[C9] [C] [CM7] [Cdim]

You'll never know how nice it seems

[Dm7] [Em7] [F7] [G7]

Or just how much it really means.

[C] [C/B] [E7]

Glad to be, yessiree,

[A7] [A7]/9 [A] [A7]

Where welcomes free, dear to me,

[F] [Dm7] [G7] [G7]/6 [G7] [G7]/6 [C] [C] [F] [Fm] [Bb9] [C]

Where I can lose my Ba - sin Street Blues.
