1   1   2    3   -3  -4   4   -4  -3  3   -3
Do you know what it means to miss New Or-leans
 4   -4  -3  3    -3    4   2
And miss it each night and day
-1* -1  1* -1    4
I know I’m not wrong 
-4   -5   5*   5  -4    -3*  -3    
the feel-in's get-in' strong-er
 2   3  -2* -2  4  -1* -1
The long-er, I stay a-way
 1   -1   2    3   -3   -4 
Miss the moss-cov-ered vines 
 4   -4  -3  3   -3
the tall sug-ar pines
  4    -4  -3    3    -3  4   2
Where mock-in' birds used to sing
-1* -1   1*  -1  4  -4 
And I'd like to see the 
-5 5*  5   -4 -3* -3 
la-zy Miss-is-sip-pi 
2  3 -2* -2  2  3    4
a hur-ry-in' in-to spring
 4   4    -3*  3  -1* -2  -2
The moon-light on the bay-ou 
4  4*  4   4    -3*   3   -1* -2
a cre-ole tune that fills the air
4  -4  -3  -2* -1   2  -2* -1  2
I dream a-bout mag-nol-ias in June 
-2*  3   -4   4   -5   -4  4 -4   -5
And soon I'm wish-in' that I was there
1  -1   2    3   -3  -4   4   -4  -3  3   -3
Do you know what it means to miss New Or-leans
 4     -4    -3    3   -3   4     2
When that's where you left your heart
-1*   -1     1*   -1    4
And there's some thing more 
-4 -5   5*  5 -4 -3*  -3
I miss the one I care for
 -6   5  -3  -6  -3  -6   5
More than I miss New Or-leans
