Verse 1
(D major) Won't you (G major) come along (A minor) (F sharp major) with me, (B minor)
(G major)
(A minor) down (F sharp major) (B minor) (G major) the Mississippi?
(D major) We'll (G major) take a boat to the
land (C major) of dream (D major) s,
and (G major) steam down the river
down to New Orleans. (D major)
A (G major) band's (A major) there to (F sharp major) meet us, (G major) (A minor)
(B minor) old (G major) friends to greet us.
(D major) You'll (G major) see the place
where the (B minor) folks all meet (D major)
A (G major) heaven on earth, they (D major) call it
Basin Street
(G major) Basin (D major) (G major) Street is (B major) the street
Where (E major) the (B minor) dark and the (E major) light folks meet
In (E minor) New Or (E flatdim) leans,
(E minor) the (F sharp major) land (D major) of dreams
You'll (G major) never (F sharp major) know how nice it seems
Or (A minor) just how much it (D major) really means
Near (G major) to me, (B major) dear to me
Glad (E major) to be where the welcome's free
Where (B flatdim) I (F sharp major) can lose (Gdim) (G major)
(D major) My Basin (G major) Street Blues (C major) (G major)
Hear them sing,
they're plenty happy
There's Cindy Lou,
take a look at Tabby
Singin' all his blues (C major) away
till the break of day
While truck (G major) in' along
(F sharp major) with those shufflin' (E major) feet
Those (A minor) are all the (D major) things you'll see
on (G major) Basin Street
Many (D major) (G major) long years I've been away
Goin' back home and I'm gonna stay
When (C major) nobody walks in the noonday sun,
(G major) sit on the levee when (D major) the day is done.
Where (G major) Parson (E minor) Brown (G major) says,
get on your knees (E major)
(B minor) and let that (G major) religion come on with ease. (D minor)
(C major) Where everyone's happy
and life is sweet.
Can (C sharpdim) 't you (G major) tell that I'm a -talkin'
(C major) bout my (D major) base and street?
Because it's (C sharpdim) near (G major) to me, (E minor) dear (B major) to me,
So (E major) glad to (B minor) be where the
(E major) welcome's free,
(B flatdim) Losing, (C sharpdim) losing,
(Gdim) los (C sharpdim) ing my (C major) base (D major) in street (G major) blues. (C major) (G major)
Now ain't you glad you (D major) came (F sharp major) with me, (B minor)
(G major) Way, (D major) way, (G major) way down the Mississippi?
You (D major) (G major) saw the place where the folks all meet (D major)
A (C sharpdim) heaven on earth, they call it
Basin Street
(G major) (C major) (G major)
