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
