[Verse 1]
Em G Am
Airstream, poetry, New Orleans, the shape of your mouth
Em G Am
Cafe cars, corner bars, back roads, we did the south
G C Em
And I told the elevator operator
Am G D C
See you later, there's a chance I'm not making it down
Em G Am
The wind and the willows, cigarillos and chairman mao
Em G Am
Yeah I took a big hit of the counterfeit, but I'm better now
[Pre-chorus]
G C Em
I told the elevator operator
Am G D C
See you later, there's a chance I'm not making it now
G C Em Am
And all you moon drifters, beware of grifters in their glitter
G C D
There's a chance that they're taking you out (now)
[Chorus]
C Am
And ah if it wasn't so tragic,
Em D G
I'd tell you everything from start to finish
Em Am D
But I'm afraid that it would lose its magic
G D
Oh, the slight of hand in the dreamland
Em C G
The city of Louisiana that felt like heaven,
B7 C
But everyone was still alive
[Solo]

[Verse 2]
Em
You said you were travellin and you put me in your pocket
C Am
You said I tasted like summer; you could feel our pine forest bed
Bm
You words played on repeat in my head, and It took me a while to get you out
G Em
But then I'd get a letter with you still calling me baby
A G D
There's Pine needles in the parchment and you asking me if I was still searching
G D
For the world that I believed
G A
And I'd write back not meaning to send
Bm G
How I was fixing settle down in some quiet southern town
Em G Am
Now I know you were with him all the while
Em G Am
I didn't think corporate lawyers were your style
[Pre-chorus]
G C Em
And I told the elevator operator
Am G D C
See you later, there's a chance I'm not making it down
G C Em Am
And all you moon drifters, beware of grifters in their glitter
G C D D7
There's a chance that they're taking you out (aah)
[Bridge]
G C Am D G
So, daisy don't come, la la la, daisy don't come to New Orleans
C Am D G
Daisy don't come, la la la, daisy don't come to New Orleans
C Am D G
Daisy don't come, la la la daisy don't come to New Orleans
C Am D
Daisy don't come, ah daisy will you come?
[Chorus]
C Am
And ah if it wasn't so tragic,
Em D G
I'd tell you everything from start to finish
Em Am D
But I'm afraid that it would lose its magic
G D
Oh, the slight of hand in the dreamland
Em C G
The city of Louisiana that felt like heaven,
B7 C
