Am F9
Standin' in the corner
B7 E7
Of Toulouse and Dauphine
Dm7 E7aug Cmaj7
Waitin' on Marie-Ondine
Am
I'm tryin' to place a tune
F9 B7
Under a louisiana moonbeam
Dm7 E7aug Am
On the planet of New Orleans
Am F9
In a bar they call the saturn
B7 E7
And in her eyes of green
Dm7 E7aug Cmaj7
And somethin' that she said in a dream
Am F9
Inside of my suit I got my mojo root
B7
And a true love figurine
Dm7 E7aug Am7
For the planet of New Orleans
Chorus :
Cmaj7
New Orleans the other planet
E7
With other life upon it
E7 Am
And everythin' that's shakin' in between
Cmaj7
If you should ever land upon it
E7
You better know what's on it
Dm7 E7aug Am
The planet of New Orleans
Verse 2 :
Am Fmaj7
Now I'm tryin' to find my way
B7 E7
Through the rain and the steam
Dm7 E7aug Cmaj7 E7#9
I'm lookin' straight ahead through the screen
Am F9
And then I heard her say
B7
Somethin' in the limousine
Dm7 E7aug
'bout taking a ride across the planet of New Orleans

Am
If she was an ace
F9
And I was just a jack
B7 E7
And the cards were never seen
Dm7 E7aug Cmaj7 E7#9
We could have been the king and the queen
Am F9
But she took me back to her courtyard
B7
Where magnolia perfume screams
Dm7
Behind the gates and the granite
E7aug Cmaj7
Of the planet of New Orleans
Chorus :
Cmaj7
New Orleans - the other planet
E7
With other life upon it
E7 Am
And everythin' that's shakin' in between
Cmaj7
If you should ever land upon it
E7
You better know what's on it
Dm7 E7aug
The planet of New Orleans
