Take Me To The Mardi Gras

                     C          
C'mon take me to the Mardi Gras

                           G7   
 Where the people sing and play

             
 Where the dancing is elite

             
And there's music in the street

               C   
Both night and day


 Tacet                C          
 Hurry take me to the Mardi Gras

                   G7     
 In the city of my dreams

            
 You can legalize your lows

                 
You can wear your summer clothes

             C     C7  
In the New Orleans


                          F    
 And I will lay my burden down

                        F9    
 Rest my head upon that shore

                             Eb    
 And when I wear that starry crown

                       Gm   G7     
 I won't be wanting anymore


 Tacet                    C          
 Take your burdens to the Mardi Gras

                         G7   
 Let the music wash your soul

             
 You can mingle in the street

                                        C    
You can jingle to the beat of the jelly roll

 No chord             C          
 Tumba, tumba, tumba, Mardi Gras

                      G7   
 Tumba, tumba, tumba, day

          C
