C (G)
Come on take me to the Mardi Gras
G7 (D7)
where the people sing and play
where the dancing is elite
C (G)
and there's music in the street both night and day
N/C C (G)
Hurry take me to the mardi gras
G7 (D7)
in the city of my dreams
you can legalize your lows
C (G)
you can wear your summer clothes in New Orleans
C7 (G7) F (C)
And I will lay my body down
Fm (C9)
rest my head upon that shore
D# (Bb)
and when I wear that starry crown
Gm (Dm) G7 (D7)
I won't be wanting anymore
Take me your burdens to the mardis gras
let the music wash your soul
you can mingle in the street
you can jingle to the beat of the jelly roll
Tumba tumba tumba mardi gras
tumba tumba tumba day mm mm
