Verse 1
[C] [Em] [C] [Am7]
Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
[Em7] [Am] [D9]
And miss it each night and day
[F6] [Fm] [C] [A7]
I know I’m not wrong, the feeling's getting stronger
[Dm7] [Ab7] [G7]
The longer I stay away

Verse 2
[C] [Gaug] [C] [Am7]
Miss the moss covered vines, the tall sugar pines
[Em7] [Em6] [Am] [D9]
Where mockingbirds used to sing
[F6] [Fm] [C] [A7]
And I'd like to see the lazy Mississippi
[Dm7] [G7] [C]
A hurrying into spring
Bridge 1
[Bbm7] [Eb7] [Ab6]
The moonlight on the bayou
[Bbm7] [Eb7] [Ab6]
A creole tune that fills the air
[Am7] [D7] [G6] [Em7]
I dream about Magnolias in June
[Am] [D7] [Dm] [Gaug]
And soon I'm wishing that I was there
Verse 3
[C] [Gaug] [C] [Am]
Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
[Em] [Am] [D9]
When that's where you left your heart
[F6] [Fm] [C] [A7]
And there's something more, I miss the one I care for
[D9] [G13] [C6]
More than I miss New Orleans
Bridge 2
[Bbm7] [Eb7] [Ab6]
Oh the Mardi Gras, the memories
[Bbm7] [Eb7] [Ab6]
Of Creoles' tunes that filled the air
[Am7] [D7] [G6] [Em]
I dream of oleanders in June
[Am] [D7] [Dm] [Gaug]
And soon I'm wishing that I were there
Added my own ending (not in original song):
[C] [Gaug] [C] [Am]
Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
[Em] [Am] [D9b5]
Ain't no place like it in the world
[F6] [Fm] [C] [A7]
That's where I left my pretty little girl
[D9] [G13] [C6]
And I miss her like I miss New Orleans
